Come on, BP. At least mention he's a RFA and the Thunder now have to choose to match or let him walk.

Also, as I said when this was brought up in the free agency thread, he's another Al Jefferson. They shouldn't miss him and should let him walk, but kudos to Portland for trying to force the issue.

Kanter makes Al look like bill russell. He is quite literally the worst defensive big in the NBA. He's also an atrocious passer. I don't know why anyone would want him, never mind for the max. He also has some worrying personality issues and seems like a poor teammate.

I guess I can sort of understand this from Portlands perspective- they have money to spend, and aren't going anywhere any time soon. Kanter will help them tank for the next few seasons and they can hope that over time he is able to improve his defense from historically awful to merely bad. 

For a team trying to compete for a title next year, I have no idea why they would want him. Even for less than the max. OKC is better off rolling with McGary and Adams. They should only match Kanter if Durant explicitly demands it, and I like to think Durant knows basketball better than that.

Rumors are OKC is probably gonna match the offer. Per Hoopshype

Which to me is retarded for 2 factors- A.) Kantor is def not a max player and B.) Why didn't you offer the max to Harden when he was there? And now you wanna give Harden's money to someone who didn't earn it? You idiots could have had 3 of the Top 5-10 players in the NBA on the same team for years to come and probably already won 2 Titles by now.. shmucks

I Disagree Harden, Russell and KD were babies and made it to the Finals.. they ran into LeBron, Bosh and a healthy Wade. No one was beating the Heat that year. If OKC didn't break up their Big 3, they could have had 1-2 of the past 3 titles. At the very least - the Western Conference Finals every year.

This.  OKC being cheap bastards and not wanting to pay the luxury tax, claiming small-market woes, will go down as one of the worst NBA decisions and biggest what-ifs of all time.

IF they had kept Harden and IF Westbrook wasn't a walking injury and IF Durant didn't miss a season with a broke foot and IF they had fired Scott Brooks 3 years earlier and IF they were still able to keep Ibaka and sign other key players and IF San Antonio magically disappeared and IF...... Lol... Yeah... OKC totally would've won "2 or 3" titles with 3 ball dominant, volume shooting, non-defensive max players.

You think Westbrook is not a defender? Lmao

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
