Reports: Kanter To Sign Offer Sheet With Portland

According to reports from Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski and NBA.com's David Aldridge, Thunder restricted free agent Enes Kanter will sign an offer sheet with the Portland Trailblazers.

While the breakdown of the deal is not known, the deal is worth four years and $70 million. The fourth year is a player option. Reports also indicate there may be a trade kicker in the deal as well. 

Oklahoma City now has three days to match the offer sheet. If the Thunder chooses to match, Kanter will be on the books for the contract as dictated by Portland. 

Currently, OKC is about $2.5 million under the tax threshold, so adding Kanter would put the Thunder in a high tax bracket where the penalties are much harsher. If the breakdown for Kanter's contract is $17.5 million per year, matching the offer sheet would cost OKC close to $40 million if you include the taxes. 

The Thunder has been adamant about matching any offer sheet Kanter received, but this is an expensive deal that could things a bit difficult for OKC. Don't be surprised if OKC takes all three days to make a decision.
