The Portland Trail Blazers have signed veteran center Enes Kanter after his release from the New York Knicks. The Blazers coveted him in 2015 when they made a free agent offer to him. They now have their man at a substantially-reduced price. Acquiring Kanter at a veteran minimum price was a no-risk, potentially-decent-reward move for the Blazers.
Kanter is 26, 6’11, and has honest-to-goodness playing time under his belt, including three trips to the playoffs. He’s logged almost 12500 regular-season minutes, 411 in the post-season. He’s a good per-minute scorer and rebounder.
