He should take a journeyman contract in Portland for a couple of years then look for a payday. That team really masks his flaws and gives him the best chance to continue changing his rep in the league.

Unfair re:  Kanter

Enes knows - and its true - that our chances to win games was greater with him getting big minutes.

So no... It wasn't all about "his stats".

I would say Kanter hated to lose MORE than the next guy.

That's a great way of putting it.

So Kornet and Mitch are ok with losing..... riiiiiiight.

That goes back to the point Bo made about Enes opting in.   EVERYONE knew the Knicks weren't trying to compete this year.   Enes didn't read the memo.

He wanted to put up all-star stats, according to him.

But this I think is unfair. He wasn't getting $18m any other way. He had to opt in, it made no sense not to. Once he opted in, I thought he came ready to play his game, and he did effectively.

He got his money AND wanted his STATS.   You can't have everything.  On a young team minutes go to development.  If he didn't know or acknowledge that, its on him.

ODDLY am I

What were the conditions of Jordan's release? I just don't know them, or if there was any offer. But BoZ sure knows.
I read somewhere ...  But he reportedly declined ...  And Fizz said ... If accurate ...

Uh, not sure I could have qualified more or made my source and belief in it sound any vaguer.  I'll work on that in the future.
Really that's just a plain bad faith interp of what I wrote.
If the article I saw had definite info I would have searched for it and provided the link. 

Oh, what a lesson... in sanctimony.
First I ODDLY have an opinion (about Jordan) that doesn’t meet BoZ’s standards of non-oddity.
And then I show my BAD FAITH by questioning BoZ’s infinite wisdom when stating IRONICALLY  that he sure knows something we odds don’t.
Aren’t we blessed to have Mr. Know-it-all to tell us off when we’re odd or when we interpret what he wrote in plain bad faith?

You guys keep harping on Enes wanting to win....

OK i'll play along....

Let's say Fizzdale forfeited decision-making on C minutes to Enes and Enes played 36 mpg and put up 20/15


How many more wins do we have?


A) 3?

B) 5?

C) 7?

D) 9?

E) More?


OK then what happens?  Enes becomes a Free Agent.


For us NOTHING changes except worse draft position.  (and a lesser mitch)


You think FIZZDALE wouldn't rather have more wins on his ledger??


He didn't play ENES because playing ENES (at best) would only benefit Fiz's W-L record and not the Knicks future.


We should all THANK FIZZ

Ok, thank you Fizzy.

Now go away. Or go to the FO. You did a good job re. draft position.

Now we need a real coach.

Opting in was a great way to earn a new KNICKS contract, which he definitely wanted.

We would keep our self respect.  And Fizz's culture would be improved.
Wasn't just about Enes.

Maybe Enes will team up with Jimmer some day. At the Big 3 level I’m guessing.

What usually happens on this forum.....

 

LOUDMOUTHS hated Kanter from the start - thought he couldnt play - read:  wouldnt put up numbers here.  So they need to hold out against any glimmer, let alone a boatload of solid play by the man they unwisely made their target.

"Kanter cant play"
"Jimmer will never be back in the league"

Mwahhh wahhhhh....

Come on, he has to take the money when he can get it. Dude is damn-near stateless. If someone offers double what the Blazers offer, he should take it. He's vulnerable.

That Kid continues to take credit for foresight in predicting Jimmer being "back" in the NBA, rather than as a publicity stunt signing by a dysfunctional team again proves it to me:

Kid knows things.
