Enes Kanter to Celtics

[Tr1boy]

If Celtics pick up Cousins, can Kanter play/start at PF? Start Cousins at C?

Walker
Brown
Hayward
Kanter
Cousins

wish that he joins the Nets, not the Celtics!

Nope.

If we bring Cousins in, either he or Kanter will start, and Stevens will sub in who ever he needs to get the job done.

Cousins/Kanter/Theis/Williams/Tacko

Combine them all together and you get a legit center, kinda like Voltron.

Love this signing! MLE for Kanter is a steal lol. Hope we do get a good backup C though.

Per nbadraft.net

They compared Kanter to Al Horford

People forget that Brook was also a very bad defender. Kanter showed last playoffs that he can be serviceable on the defensive end.

I just hope his shoulder problem is gone...

Shows promise. He's grown as a player each year in the league. Put him with guys like Smart and Kemba who will drive him and he can improve again defensively.

For the price this is a great signing, low risk. We had a massive hole at C so I'm glad we got someone who can contribute

I think Kanter will have a great year for us, will vastly outplay his contract value this season and will comand more money next year. If that's the case, could we go over the cap to retain him? I mean, will we have his bird rights or something like that?

Kanter visited my son's school.  I have a video of Kanter dunking on my son!!!! I am excited.

I think its funny that after being very certain that Randle was a steal on his contract you're bagging on Kanter's defense.

Pot to Kettle lol.

I just think it's baffling that this guy averaged almost a double-double for his entire career on incredibly effiicient shooting, and was the best defender on a playoff team last year and somehow was still an afterthought in free agency and got a contract typically given to vets attempting to return from career threatening injuries. 

You guys are totally right It's definitely not that he's the worst defensive center in the league...

I really dont see the downside in signing a big man who averaged a double double and put up some amazing numbers in the playoffs...

some people on this site are too much...

Love this move!

Get someone like Cousins, and we are in good shape.
