    Kanter is one of my faves. Kind of a throwback lunch pail guy. Couldn’t be more happy about the trade.

    So, maybe one of you Cap gurus can chime in here. Isn’t there a couple of million left over out of the $7 mil TPE? And didn’t the Blazers generate another TPE when they unloaded Hezonja for nothing in this deal? Not that I think they plan on using them now; just curious.

    My take is that the Blazers have $2.3M left out of the $7.1M TPE and that they generated a new one for $1.9 M.

    It's nice to see we've now surpassed Toronto as the NBA epicenter of Turkish culture.

    By the way, how much would this forum have hated Kanter if OKC wouldn't have matched the 4-year, $70MM offer we signed him to back in 2015?

    So happy he's back at a reasonable salary.

    I don't not believe TPE's work that way. You can use up to the full amount, but any unused dollars are gone. No roll over minutes!

    “Teams can consume only part of a trade exception, in which case they can use the remainder in a future trade. For example, if a team trades a $4 million player for a $2 million player, they gain a $2 million trade exception. If they later trade a draft pick for a $1 million player, they still have $1 million left over to acquire more players and complete the earlier trade (until one year from the date of the original trade).”

    pretty sure that's not true

    IIRC, you could use a 10M TPE, for instance, to trade for two players making 5M. Or 1 player making 6M and another making 4M. And the two trade could happen months apart just as long as they fit into the calendar year life of the TPE

    the problem with 1-5-2.0M TPE's is that just about the only players that would fit into the exceptions are veterans on minimum contracts, and those contracts can be traded to any team, regardless of cap-situation, just as long as they aren't hard-capped. In other words, there's little value in those TPE's and about all they would fit is rookie scale contracts for late 1st round picks and 2nd round picks

    Kanter just seems like a solid dude and a good teammate. I have no doubt there will be games he saves us with his rebounding/interior scoring. And he’s great insurance for Nurk.

    Could be wrong, but didn't OKC trade Enes for Melo a few yrs back?

    Bundle of energy. Can either be annoying, or super infectious. We need to stick him next to DJJ the whole season, physically distant of course.
