It looks like Enes Kanter is here to stay in Oklahoma City, as the Thunder re-signed the restricted free agent big man by matching the Portland Trail Blazers offer of four years and $70 million, according to David Aldridge of TNT.
Source indicates OKC will, as expected, match the 4-year, $70M offer sheet today for big man Enes Kanter, given Thursday by Portland.
— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 12, 2015This is a huge blow for the Blazers, who lost all the players in their starting lineup but Damian Lillard.
For the Thunder, people have mixed reviews on this. Some say Kanter isn't worth the price, and it could hurt OKC in the long run. However, others say it helps the Thunder to win now and compete for the NBA Finals next year as it could be the last season Kevin Durant is in uniform.
We'll see how things go in the 2015-16 season.
