The Trail Blazers almost certainly want to keep Enes Kanter on the roster. The Turkish center filled in admirably — better than many expected — for the injured Jusuf Nurkic in the final weeks of the regular season and playoffs. Nurkic will miss a chunk of the regular season next year so it’d be a huge help to keep Kanter in a Blazers uniform.
One small problem: General Manager Neil Olshey might not have a way to keep Kanter. As has been discussed endlessly, the Blazers are not in a great spot financially.
