    I used to like Enes and feel he was just miscast on a rebuilding team with a contract that was a bit large for his ability.

    But what a douche. He can literally f**k off. We should just cut him. How is playing every game being ‘shut down’ when almost everyone else has had a DNP? How is he entitled to more when his defence is all-world bad? And in what universe did he think he was making an all-star team? Vonleh should get more votes and he’s on a non-guaranteed min deal!

    Enes can’t go back to his homeland that’s affecting him big time. Shitty situation for him.
    Not an excuse for his bad defense but it’s clearly affecting his mind

    The Knicks – the worst team in the year with the worst odds and the worst players in years. Who’s our concensus 2-5? Right.

    I think Kanter is coming to the realization that his next contract won’t be anything like his last.
