A dud from non-slumping elite Tim.
Edit: Aside from his hot start in 8 games in October.
Tim has shot 37.4% in Nov; 37.6% in Dec and so far 38.1% in Jan.
3-pointers: 31.8%, 34.5%, 23.8% (just 3 Jan. games), respectively.
2 solid months of poor shooting (while he has upped his FT's and passing some)
Kant with a solid game, tied with Zonja with a game high +7. 6 o-boards. Just think he's a high caliber backup that most teams 2nd units can't handle. So if reasonably priced (~$6M) and willing to be primarily a backup, I'd like him back. I'm also fine hitching my horse to Chop Suey and MitchRider -- or are they the horses in this metaphor and I'd hitch my reigns to them? -- however it works.
I'm much more concerned about our backcourt, where Mud & Tim aren't players I like, not reliable, weak defense, etc.
Othersowise, it's very easy to get thrown in jail in Turkey these days. Or to lose your job, or have your family harassed (or lose their jobs), or have your passport revoked, or just generally be surveilled and harassed. Nebulous charges include: insulting the president; belonging to the Gulen movement (previously affiliated with Erdogan); threatening state security, etc.
I assume pressure was brought on Turkoglu to counter Kanter. Folks are being forced to choose sides. It's the: You're either with us, or you support terrorism. (Erdogan defines the Gulenists as a terrorist movement). Rough time for civil society in Turkey.
