    Portland must think Kanter is going to take his game to the next level or they just want to bottle up OKC...this guy is really young for a 20-10 player

    $20+ million if they don't get rid of anyone else.

    Doesn't look like a plodder to me. Looks like he has swift feet.

    We can still offer the Houston guy, right? I'd love to troll the Blunder and Rockettes on the same day.

    If they can't find any other takers (only us, DEN, DAL, and PHI have cap space) then they don't have much choice.

    Yeah and even tougher when u consider the player option. It's pretty much a 3 year deal and I doubt u would look to trade him in year 1. Presti is fucked either way lol. Probably less so if he doesn't match. I doubt KDs decision will be swayed one wY or another on this.

    I wonder if Kanter was playing for the big contract last year and he was more focused on his offensive stats.
    Now maybe with the big contract he can focus on other things........probably not, but you never know.

    No that's best case. Worse case is they don't match. ;)

    If we get him, we can call him Penis Cancer and he can be our new scapegoat, what's the downside?

    Well, we could use a backup PG. Augustin?

    Instead of signing the sheet, couldn't we just call OKC up and threaten to do that, then trade them space for Augustin and PJIII?

    If we brought back Luke Ridnour for a pack of gum, he could be the bench guard and he'd have a record for teams in a summer. The only Duck who ever made it from the Fred Jones, Luke Jackson, Ernie Kent era..

    I don't see how anyone could want Monroe and then be pissed about going after this guy. Monroe was known for shitty defense too, and this guy is two years younger.

    Good point. Either way they are young players who have to improve on D. But possess excellent offensive skills.
    You just have to hope their coaches get through to them.
