      Injuries took away his prime, and now he's too old and possibly injury-prone.

      Jeremy Lin had his run and this is no knock on the guy because I respect him as a person but his Linsanity moment overhyped his value. He was a good contributor but his hot streak raised his expectations and other teams wanted him as a centerpiece of his team until they realized he wasn't the guy they thought he was.
      If anything, he's been in the league longer than most people of his relative skillset and if he didn't have that moment with the Knicks, he would've languished in the G-League and eventually went overseas.

    They’re “black listed” cause they tarnish the image of the league and they’re not good enough to be anything but bench and role players today
    I need to add that if you aren’t an elite player, then the team isn’t going to go out of their way to protect you. You can’t speak out against anything that the *business* that is the NBA isn’t standing on, and expect to continue to have a career in the league. It’s happened for decades.
    Enes Freedom spoke out against the Chinese government, and you wonder why he was unfairly phased out of the league? Waiters and Mayo were inconsistent players throughout most of their careers, then they committed infractions (on a shortened leash) and then wondered why no one would pick them up again. KPJ, he’s no Miles Bridges. A decent player whose team is better without him. It’s all. Business.

    • @Scorpion-bd1ow
      @Scorpion-bd1ow Před 5 měsíci

      pretty much a player getting waived means that whatever remaining years and salary that is guaranteed on their contract gets bought out by the team that does it. Now depending on the teams situation, they either can do a wave and stretch or a simply waive of the player. a wave and stretch pretty much takes the players remaining money and dividing it up over a set of years that makes it non impactful toward a teams salary cap and doesn’t impact their luxury tax flexibility. A regular contract waive/buyout means a team buys out a players contract and whatever amount of years left and money left is what the team pays for the rest of the regular season. there are conditions like if the contract is guaranteed or any incentives that make the overall value of the contract less that what is projected along with the salary cap being part of a reason why teams do it. the reason that players like kevin porter jr are traded to teams like the thunder are because the thunder are one of few teams this seasons that are not paying above the salary cap so they can buy out kevin’s contract in full and it doesn’t really do anything to their salary as only shai is making high amounts of money.

    I've wondered if Jabari Parker's comments about defense got him blacklisted. Plenty of players suck on D, but they also don't admit they don't try. Despite his injury riddled career he's still offensively talented enough to be in the league.

      Faried was always worse than Kanter and is even more outdated. A 6'8" power forward who can't even shoot midrange, can't do anything on defense and can't create a shot for himself or a teammate is useless. All he could do is catch lobs and rebound. Which might be okay if he could play C, but he has no length, rim protection or switchability.. So even for "small ball" he is useless, and he doesn't do anything well for a modern power forward role

    I'd rather say for Kanter, if you really want to believe that he's kicked out of the league due to some political reasons, rather than the fact that he was a defensive blackhole that can't shoot 3s in a league dominated by guards living outside of the 3pt line and switch on slow big men every single play, instead of believing in that communist conspiracy bs that he claimed, I think the other theory, that he was actually waived by the Rockets because they don't wanna embarrass their Turkish young star Sengun and the Turkish market behind it, made more sense. (He was hated and wanted by Erdogan in Turkey as well, his father back in Turkey had to cut off ties with him to avoid being jailed)
    It was the Celtics that traded him, but it was the Rockets that waived him.

Nobody wants to sign somebody that will treat anything he doesnt like as a conspiracy against him. He is a distraction not worth what he brings to a team.

Why accuse one country of evil acts while turning a blind eye to the evil acts of another?

Immediately after the trade to Houston, Porter dropped like 50pts in a game and had the Rockets fan MOIST but that wound up being fools gold. Everything that has happened to him he has done to himself. Atleast Dion Waiters was honest about his ATTITUDE problems. He never wanted to play with Kyrie in Cleveland and I’ll never forget that Nike commercial they had with Lebron and the Cavs when he came back from Miami: Peep Dion Waiters mean mugging and ice grilling Lebron while he’s trying to motivate em in the huddle.

    Idk you say its fishy that the moment Kanter speaks out he doesn't get signed by any team but I think it's more fishy that the moment he starts to be completely useless to a winning basketball team is when he suddenly changes his name, clearly gets a new pr team, and starts showing up on Fox News and other places speaking in ways he's never spoken before publically, in ways louder than he ever has before. What's seems way more likely to me is he saw the writing on the wall and puts his chips on the "political grifter and influencer" strategy. I mean he was getting injured, he wasn't young or improving anymore, he didn't space the floor, played some of the worst defense in the league, AND and on top of that had numerous PR and lockerroom issues that could cause massive headaches for a team. What organization would ever want that. I mean even without the China problems the Gulen Cult thing was already enough of a headache. Developing teams want younger players who could actually improve, or locker room vets who teach, improve chemistry, and could possibly transition into behind the scenes roles (Udonis Haslem, Vince Carter, etc). Contending teams want players who won't be injured, can hopefully play defense, space, or at the very least provide veteran presence or play-making. Kanter does absolutely none of those things.

Meanwhile Kanter was an injury prone big man at the same age who didn't apace the floor, had onlt regressed more and more, and notably was one of the worst defenders in the league, and probably THE worst defensive center in the league. Kaep was clearly blackballed for political reasons, Kanter just sucks and the politics, cult ties, and antics just made an easy decision easier.
