I think Kanter will make himself at home anywhere he is, just his personality.
As for the C's giving him an MLE deal for two years, that's essentially the contract he signed this off season. Taxpayer MLE size deal with a player option. I don't think he'll opt out to just sign that same deal after having a really good year, he will be aiming higher.
Now maybe he doesn't get the offers he likes and he would return on such a deal, but I wouldn't count on it.
