I will be a fan of Kanter for life

[Natebishop3]

This man is a warrior. What he has done for this team is something that should be remembered for a long time.

 

[trailblazer18]

Love me some Kanter!!!!

 

[EGame]

Same here. This team really rejuvenated him after coming from the worst team in the league and made him really hungry to play. And then with Nurk going down he had to really step it up and has. Man I would hope so much for some sort of discount to try and resign him, but will see.

I am in awe at how much respect and admiration I have developed for Kanter since we picked him up. Even beyond basketball but on the court when someone says "I gave all I had" or "I left it all on the court" he is one of the few I believe. Major props and I am already bummed we won't be able to keep him.

We WILL be able to keep him. He wants to be here. Do you think after all this effort during this magical post-season that Kanter would want to be ANY where else but Portland? Even if the money looks good elsewhere...the guy loves it here. He’s staying. Bank on it.

The more he talks, the more I'm wondering if we will be able to keep him. He is giving his heart and soul to this team.

I can see some other teams making him some nice offers.

I think other offers will definitely be compelling but Kanter just doesn’t strike me as a guy that will leave strictly for money. He’ll follow his emotions and his emotions are now buried within our team and fan base.

The "experts" keep saying there is going to be a very limited market for centers who aren't 3-point shooters. I guess we will see.

He shot a three tonight

 

[theprunetang]

He shot a three tonight

And made it. The guy actually has range, just knows where his bread and butter is at.

 

[Chris Craig]

I hope he plays Sunday. It will hard to win without him.

Even if we get past the Nuggets, we are going to beat to hell if we face Golden State.

We can holy hope their matchup with the Rockets continues to be a slug fest as well.

I still can't get over that flagrant shot to Kanter's shoulder Jokic laid into him. WTF

Jokic is a dirty ass fuck.

Yeah, and we only like clean ass fucks!!!

Gotta keep the ass fucking clean. You learn anything in college?

Maybe the League will review and take action.

Gawd, I crack myself up sometimes!

Word. Fuck this piece of shit. I had no opinion of him before this series but god he is a little bitch

Can't believe everything he's getting away with in games. Fucking plot armor

 

[Orion Bailey]

Remember my green font message below people!!!

Now. Im wondering if we are entering a situation like denver had?

Two big starting centers.
Nurk is still an unknown if he will ever come back 100% the same.

Then there is a young Kanter. Shoulder will heal fine with rest.

Trade Nurk for more pieces and salary and sign Kanter for the future?

Man. Poor Nurk if that happened yet again to him.

 

[joeBlazers]

Let's enjoy Enes while it lasts. Other teams are watching him play too and someone will throw money at him, where we won't be able to compete.
Let's say $10-$12 mil.
Here is the more likely scenario: Enes signs with another team (Hornets). His new team stinks and midway through next season, we trade Meyers for Enes.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Question.

Is it possible to sign a future contract or a heavily padded contract in later years?

Like sign him for mle for one year with gursntee of another salary?

Or sign him but on a salary where he gets paind mle wage next year but more in later yesrs?

Say:

Year one...4.2 mill
Year two...5.9 mill
Year three...9.9 mill
Year four...15 mill


He has already been paid. He doesn't need money right away.

Good problem to have though, no?

Better than many other potential problems.

Young Kanter? The dude will be 27 this month.

Nurk will be 25 in August.

Oshley needs to be fired ON THE SPOT if Kanter isn't re-signed.

It might be out of his hands.

No. Not possible.

Currently, the best we can offer Kanter is a deal starting at $5-6 mil per season with something like 10-15% growth each season. So, it’s really out of Neil’s hands. Kanter will likely be offered at least Meyers’ money by other teams...

I'm 2500 miles away right now, but you guys going to Game 4 need to definitely start up a Camby-level EN-ES KAN-TER cheer.
