Enes Kanter to Portland

Bartlestein probably “owes” Olshey for helping Kanter get payed. If he doesn’t find Kanter a starting role elsewhere, I could see him pushing him to Portland, assuming the Blazers are interested. Kanter also has experience coming off the bench and finding ways to produce in limited minutes.

Shocked!

But seriously, this is a good move. Second unit just got another scorer.

Well well well...

Gotta be pushing Leonard out of the rotation. No reason to bring him in if not to play. I wonder what effect this'll have on Collins.

Scalma · Feb 13, 2019

How hilarious is it that Olshey only deals with Bartlestein why doesn’t Bartelstein run this team instead?

We talked about it before, that this seemed the most likely since it is another player that has 'history' with Neil.

The rotation is going to be a nightmare. Will Stotts try to play 12 now?

Can’t depend on those guys in the playoffs anyway. We needed a vet.

Yes Portland could use the help but you have to think there were assurances he would play. Crowded rotation just got more crowded. Collins is getting 0 playing time.

I don’t see the issue. Yeah, we might be playing 11 guys, but I wouldn’t say 11 guys deserve to be playing.

“Probably?” He gave him the 70M offer sheet. NO paid him. It’s just that OKC got to match.

Is it uncool in 2019 to use his nickname? Asking for a friend.

Scalma · Feb 13, 2019

Turner
Hood
Harkless
Collins
Kanter

At least that’s what I’d do.

We just have to strategically get away with 6 men of the floor just like before.

Hahha fuck you Magic suck all the dicks.

Good Move, Neil.

He wanted to go somewhere that he could start or get 'starter' minutes. Someone (or two) is going to have to sit.

Kanter is unplayable against teams like Houston or Warriors, but anyway. At least it's something

Looks like NO’s over paying players has finally paid off.

Boston fans offer up a big 'FU'.

How did we get him when Neil told us they all went to big market teams? This does not compute...

The second unit is going to have some serious firepower. Not sure they can defend their own shadows, but they can score in bunches.

Take a seat Meyers. Or Collins. Or both. Really don't care.

What happened to our pillar?

There wasn't enough Viagra to maintain peak performance.

Fucking awesome.

rotary111 · Feb 13, 2019

Love this! He better play big minutes too.

Scalma · Feb 13, 2019

Kanter wont have to worry about running into Hedo.

Portland is farther away from Turkey than the East coast.

TBpup · Feb 13, 2019

Is he really going '00' Duck?

BBert · Feb 13, 2019

Olshey got him PAID. He owe's us.

I think Im ok with My Starters: Dame, Hood, Layman, Collins, Nurkic. Bench CJ, Aminu, Kanter. Maybe you put Seth in here or there, and other guys might play in certain situations, like foul trouble.
