Enes is only hurting himself now as it looks like mgmt isnt in any hurry to help him out, because of the drama. Shooting himself in the foot.

Fizdale isnt helping either, there is a Larry Brown with the Knicks quality to his coaching style. Hope we see him do a better job next season.

this is kids play in comparison

You late to the game bro

While Kanter said he couldn’t reveal any secrets, he gave away hints, admitting four years of losing got to Porzingis and the Latvian also didn’t like the Turkish center’s treatment by coach David Fizdale.

“He was frustrated for me, too,’’ Kanter said. “He was frustrated at how I was getting treated. He actually wanted to go to lunch with me but the trade happened. He was so frustrated because I was so frustrated. He was texting me a lot to stay strong.’’

“Of course it will affect a player, for sure,’’ Kanter said. “But every time I was out there I want to win. I don’t care where we are. You want to look at [a young player], send him to the G-League. This isn’t the place to look. He was getting frustrated and he was seeing all the losses.’’

Selfish, self centred egomaniacal idiot!

It's almost time to give him the Marbury treatment and send him home...its okay but ho be frustrated about playing time but why run to the media? Please get him off my team!

Naw, come on. We need to do whats best for any player on our team. In his case just cut him, stirring the pot with all this drama. What a joke.

Yeah, there's no need to be petty. Of course, we need to do what's best for the team. But Enes isn't big, or small, enough for us to have any strong feelings for. He just doesn't get it. Three teams have called him out for bad defense and selfish play. You can say it's us. Fine. But what about Utah and OKC? I understand he is going through crap that's out of his control. But it seems he lacks a certain level of introspection.

wouldn't it be best for the team to stay on our current approach to dealing with disgrunted players? Melo wanted to be traded? Bam. KP no longer wants to be here ? alrighty then. same should apply to Kanter. We need to keep face and do the right thing from the players perspective. Its a part of changing the culture.

I want him gone asap. I'm just saying we need to keep personal feelings out of it. I would've wanted a asset back in a trade, but that's not happening. I think we should cut him so he can sit on another team's bench. I'm against doing vindictive crap. Let the man free to collect stats and destroy another team's defensive rotations.

+1 I am all for that. As lucrative as it is to play him to help our tank I don't want him to take minutes away from Mitch Rob,Vonley and Kornet. Besides now that we know that he has a mental make up of a 12 year old given the situation that he found himself in, we really need to do everyone a favor and get rid of this distraction of a man child.

he thinks he badly needs the playing time to prove it he still can play. He next contract is about to be up and clearly he would not get much in next contract if he always sit on the bench.

I mean, everyone would get mad if his income suffers. People would argue he should not put himself over the team, but the day he knew he would not get an extension or get traded to a place he would get an extension, his mind is no longer here. People blamed Phil Jackson on the treatment of JR Smith and Shumpert, and actually what has he done to hurt them? They got traded to a place they got wanted and got big contracts (and rings). It was as clear as sky Phil would not resign them so he has done what is moral to them.

They should be VERY thankful that Steve Mills was not the prez.

So far Kanter has not manned up to his lack of d and instead had attributed his loss of PT to being "old " . He is only 26 or whatever, he should think about developing his D more imho.

I agree with you but players have limitation because of body and/or mind. If he could play defense and still have this offensive power, he would be already a superstar, a core OKC would never want to trade away.
