Ennis will love Boston! And love beating his rival (Knicks), which I'm sure had some influence on his decision.
Wish him well....good guy

He had a choice, and he chose. If he loved Portland, the success of last season, knew how much the fans liked him, and seen the direction of the club, then it should've been a no brainer. It's a business; he was exercising his business side in considering Boston, and Portland was exercising their business in wanting a decision so they could pull the trigger on Whiteside. GL in Boston.

You're assuming the dollars were the same. If we could offer him the Vet Min, that's a difference of $3.3MM, or playing for roughly a third of what he got. Not many people would make that deal.

I'm still a Kanter fan and think we'll see him in a Blazer uni again.

Funny how he ended up with less than what he would’ve gotten with Portland, assuming this was before the Hood agreement. I doubt we were offering the minimum.

No way we offered him more than Boston. It wouldn't have been a thought for him in that case.
 
Edit that was definitely a shot at Kanter. I don’t think Nurk ever liked him tbh. He never followed him on IG and he follows everyone else, even Hood.
 
If I had to choose between hood and Kanter, I choose Hood.

I think Hood could stay here for a long time.

I'm not assuming anything, don't put words in my mouth. I'm saying that the money shouldn't have even mattered if he was serious about his feelings about Portland, the success of last season, and the future success with him still being a part of the team. For him to act surprised or act like a victim in his tweet is disingenuous to me. It is a business, and some people like money more, but then don't act like you had no choice or that you were pressured. And now Dame has come out and said that it was the last 6 minutes of 45 that were given. Lost alot of respect for Kanter, not that it matters to him or anyone else.

Who would’ve thought Kanter would’ve got less than Aminu AND Curry? I wonder if his value is lower because of the whole Canada thing. That’s a minimum two games the Celtics will be without what should be their starting center.

Yep. Plus likely some playoff games.

It seems that management gave him the ultimatum and planned all along to let him go with a six minute limit. He did come through for us in regular season and the playoffs. I wish I could shake his hand and thank him for his efforts.

Neil was working on getting Whiteside and moving out Turner, Aminu, and Harkless. That made Hood the higher priority. Great moves all around.

:cheers:
 
It was correct choice to keep Hood ahead of him. We managed to get Whiteside, who is a better defender than him by a large margin and equal rebounder. We probably would have struggled to get a better 3 than Hood via trade as there aren’t that many available 3s on the market.

Quick said Kanter was first priority and Kanter has known exactly what Portland could offer. So did hood. Hood wanted to stay and made up his mind first. Kanter did not. Blazers gave him 45 minutes. Quick called Kanter a drama queen

Where was this said? Athletic?

I might get some hate for this, but while I really liked Kanter and what he did while he was here I think his schtick could get old after a while (maybe Im wrong). I would've liked Hood and Kanter to stay, but if I had to choose one it would probably Hood. I really likes both guys. GL to Kanter. Glad we got Hood though.

Quick prefaced his statement about Kanter being a drama queen with “listen, I know the fans fell in love with him, but....”

Dwight Jaynes talked about this as well just now on Rip City Drive. Good call.
 
Why even bring it up? Was his pride hurt that we moved on to Hood so quickly?
