Enes Kanter should definetly be resigned by the Thunder this offseason. Thanks Jazz!

Can't see how they wouldn't.  They wanted to re-sign Reggie for $48 million/4 years, I'd imagine they could offer a similar contract to Kanter and get him to accept.
Where does he play, though? Does he move Adams to the bench, or does he come off the bench? I like Adams as the big defensive-minded starter for them.

I like Kanter as the starter. They need his offense. Adams will be a very good backup C.

Utah up 16 on the Spurs now. Jazz beating them up in the paint.

I think Utah are going to be a lot of fun to watch down the close of the season with Gobert & Favors starting together. They are developing into a really impressive big man tandem.

Trey Burke had another good game today. It looks like returning to bench role has been good for Burke.

Oh, nice pass by Exum.

Exum does good things. Just not often enough. Too hesitant / passive.

He'll get there. He's the 5th youngest player in the league and has had to deal with a lot of unfair and unrealistic expectations this year. Once he's matured a bit more physically, hopefully he'll start being a little more aggressive and using that quick first step he has.

He and Ingles have worked well together starting in the back court for the Jazz. Good win over the Spurs.

Perk signed with the Cavs. Wonder if there'll be any blowback from the people who get upset about those sorts of things.

I don't think Perk is good enough for anyone to really care at this point.

Name change and a haircut.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

OKC's been rolling ever since that Clippers game.

Great thing for Minny to get KG back home:

Great move by him. Even in limited minutes at his age he will help them, especially on the leadership end and defensively.

They've got a ton of talent there.

Would LOVE to see them challenge for a playoff spot next season.

He is sitting himself up to be a part owner .  That's the way you do it .  Re enter the team ...get a feel for the franchise once again .....

Then write a big check !

Not many NBA franchises can be bough into today , the price hs sky rocketed .

KG likely would not get a chance to be an owner in the Celtics any time soon.

Him returning is more of a business adventure than anything .

Westbrook's performance this month is exactly why OKC's brass didn't take the terrible advice of Rondo trumpeters here who swear that he'd be better for the Thunder than Westbrook.  He's carrying that team in ways of which Rondo could never dream.

No one ever denied that Westbrook is a stud and no one can argue that Rondo can carry a team the way he can.  But the question is who would work better with a healthy Durant and Scott Brooks' pitiful offense?

When Westbrook and Durant have both been on the court this season, OKC hasn't exactly been tearing up the league.

Except OKC's best record and statistical lineups this season have been with both Durant and Westbrook on the court.  And this is with a Kevin Durant who's been injured/hobbled more often than not.  I can't get how anyone can still watch OKC in the year 2015 and think they would be better off with Rondo in place of Westbrook.

It's like people are really still clinging to this notion of Westbrook not being a point guard.
