Because that's how restricted free agency works..........
Otherwise, there is the 7 million dollar QO that we (the team) can force you to take if you don't find an offer sheet from another team and don't like the terms of our own offer.
Not my logic. Monnix said Kanter should be let go because he was putting up stats on a "terrible team." That's not true. He was putting up stats in important games on a decent/good team trying to make the playoffs.
And you know, there is a simple answer to all of this. If Thompson is valued just as much as Kanter then I guess he can go get a max offer sheet from another team just like Kanter.

Yeah, because he doesn't have any actual skillset on that end to lead me to believe, he'll develop.
He has no outside jumper, he's not a superior post player, with outstanding footwork. His post game I don't is horrible, he's got a nice little running hook shot that's decent. Nothing that leads me to think he'll expand on it though.
He's always going to just be a garbage scorer, and that's fine.
There's nothing in Tristan's offensive arsenal game, that leads me to think its going to improve dramatically. His age isn't something I factor.
I got to see proof, some kind of evidence to suggest otherwise.
Kanter is never going to be a shot blocker, defensive prowless on that side of the ball either.
He doesn't have those skillsets either, so expecting that wouldn't be wise.
But playing defense in the NBA isn't just a skillset you need to have in order to do it.
My point was that it only takes one team to set your value to THAT team, regardless of whether its a team you don't currently play for or the team you're already on. Whatever number/deal Tristan eventually gets from the Cavs, it is what THEY value him at, all things being considered, by mere virtue of them agreeing to the deal.
And yes all things considered includes factors beyond his raw stats.
If Suns move Keef, they need to bring back 1 PF in the deal, no?
Would they take on Hickson(after all these years) in order to get those two picks
But again, with the Mavs and Portland fading, there are two open playoff spots from last year. OKC slides into one, but the Suns are going to likely try to gun for the other. So I don't see them trading Keef unless they are getting some talent back i the deal.
they signed Mirza
Kevin Love is a miserable defender, but he helps us offensively so we live with it.

Just as Moz covers up for Love, Ibaka will provide the rim protection that Kanter doesn't.
Kanter provides OKC with a viable 3rd scoring option in the post they haven't ever had, and it will take tremendous pressure off Westbrook/Durant to have to do everything offensively.
All teams have guys that they live with their crappy defense because they can put up points. Fewer teams live with guys that have little offensive ability but play good defense.
And what other PFs on the roster besides him and Keef? You going to roll with just Leuer and Teletovic if Keef gets traded?
