Trade Blazers trade Hezonja for Kanter!

[RoseCityRebel]

He must be staying in Toronto.

They can’t play in Toronto, so how about Seattle for a season?

 

[beast blazer]

Ibaka would be a decent get. Upgrade at pf. I thought he wad older than 30. 7 foot, can shoot

They've chosen Tampa.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

Sorry, Ibaka is better

He would be perfect in a Dame/CJ/Covington or Hood/Ibaka/Nurkic starting 5.

Collins/Trent/Kanter/Hood or Covington/Simons off the bench. Is the lack of picking up a bench PG an Olshey endorsement for Simons getting those 10mpg?

there have been a lot of questions about Ibaka's actual birth date. He could easily be older

I had no clue. That was quick. Swap divisions with the Wizards for the year based on travel?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Just heard about the trade. I'm honestly shocked. I didn't think Olshey was going to use the TPE and I was salty about it. I was wrong. Kudos to Olshey for a really good deal!

 

[DDolla]

I will not complain if we get LMA back

 

[wizenheimer]

the only minor downer about Kanter is that the playoffs and Ramadan happen at the same time. Maybe that won't be an issue this year

 

[Orion Bailey]

Man, NO making solid solid moves!

I had to check in today for a second time because of this!!! Wanted to make sure there wasnt anyone out of thier mind and slamming this move, cause. Man. Oe more move and we are contenders. Sign Millsap and we are contenders.

Great day to be a Blazer fan!!!

Good point.

Ramadan shifts every year since it's based on the lunar calendar. When he was here before (2019), Ramadan spanned May 5-June 3rd. For 2021, Ramadan ends May 11; whereas this delayed season's playoffs don't begin until May 22nd.

This was a fantastic deal! I was hoping we would get rid of Hezonja and to get back Kanter for him is unreal.

Another minor gripe about Kanter is that when Olshey is asked a question about him he says his name ‘Enes’ a bunch of times and the way he says it sounds too much like ‘Penis’.

And that really bothers me.

So, Ol-Shay needs to come up with a nickname.

Sometimes we only hear what we want to hear.

 

[Sedatedfork]

We've never signed anyone as good as ibaka....we've signed andre miller and rod strickland and?

*Ahem* Brian Grant would like a word.

An even better point!

Kandoo(can do)Kanter

Oh I see someone already posted this and you think Ibaka is better. In this NBA, maybe? But back, then Grant was a better fit for the NBA.

 

[stampedehero]

He wanted to play but was shafted by Neil. That guy really plays with heart. I'm glad he is back.

 

[MickZagger]

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

Wait, Enes got "shafted" by Neil?

 

[stampedehero]

Yes. You could take that many ways............

 

[e_blazer]

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.

 

[e_blazer]

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.

I knew someone would get my reference!

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.
