1) Can Kanter get a long term deal at over $18M from any other team.
2) Can the Knicks convince Kanter that they need to see another year from him under a new coach before committing long term?

I wouldn't give Kanter a long term deal right now before seeing him perform under Fizdale. If they have to let him walk, as much as a like Kanter, we have to do what we have to do. I understand Kanter's (and KOQ's) position but it's just not in the best interest of the Knicks right now.

1) Given the current marketplace, No.

My best guess is his current value/approximation is 4/32 or 2/16, the second year being a team option or a player option depending on the pathway to possibly starting.

2) I don't see this issue as relevant to his situation. Kanter is outside his prime developmental window. He's "young" in real life terms, in NBA terms, he's a sunk cost.

The issue isn't Kanter's continued development, rather his fit in whatever system Fizdale runs.

Kanter is going to opt in, rain threes and increase his market value. Wait and see.

You say that likes it's far fetched or something. He's obviously been putting in plenty of practice at shooting 3's which he's been posting all the videos of and is something Fiz lets and tells his big men do, although i do think there's a chance he opts out, i still don't see him doing it and it's a contract year so he's gonna kill it next year. I really don't care either way if he opts in or out cause it's not gonna hurt us next season either way.

It's not that I dislike Kanter (seems a nice guy), it's just we need to get more athletic at C and PF, and better defensively, and we can't afford to pay him beyond 2019.

Yep....Kanter pick the teams he prefer... and do a sign and trade with the team that wants him.

what about to the bucks for Parker?

than you have no center and a log jam at sf/pf

is your DNA so-biased to the negative?

what is the log jam you speak of, Knox, Lance?

and the predicate is if Kanter is inclined to leave anyway

lee and thj are suited more as a SF, which that would make lee, THJ, williams, knox, and lance at sf/pf not to mention beasly who is still in play and comes much cheaper.

Parker does not make the roster more balance and after two ACL injuries, your not concerned about his health?.

If Kanter opts out:
* Kanter may be passing on the single highest paying season of his career. Contracts for traditional big men are being devalued given the current playing style the NBA is moving toward. His next deal could start for as little as half of what he'd make now. It may take him 2 seasons to earn the same money.
* From the Knicks standpoint, they'd have no choice but to play (ie showcase) Noah, and opens the door for Hicks and Kornet to spend a lot of time with the Knicks, and makes a return for Beasley that much more likely.

dude, you do understand why most everyone thinks you are ridiculous right? It's comments like this that really take the cake. I don't know man, this type of post doesnt really add to much here

With so many young bigmen (err tall men) coming into the league this year, perhaps we'll start to see a slight shift back to teams playing bruiser ball, which may enhance his value again.
