Blazers beat a crowded field for Kanter, including the Lakers, per sources. Kanter is an important addition for Blazers, where he'll play a good share of minutes. Portland signed Kanter to a $70M offer sheet in 2015, which OKC matched. https://t.co/1Qdd1Ff43G

Kanter spent his entire season with the New York Knicks. He fell out of the rotation in recent weeks as the team embraced a youth movement and agitated for a trade before ultimately being bought out.
Kanter will get good minutes as part of the Portland second unit. They’re headed for the playoffs, so he’ll be able to play a significant role on a playoff team.
