Ed: Enes Kanter demanded a trade from the Utah Jazz after a frustrating loss to the Dallas Mavericks
Can confirm that report by @tribjazz that Jazz big man Enes Kanter is hoping to be traded before the upcoming deadline.

Trading Enes Kanter is a tricky prospect that we examined in regards to his agent Max Ergul recently. And there’s more to the story than even business at play here. Ergul has demanded of Jazz brass Kanter be traded for some time now making Enes’s locker room blowout an imminent shadow hanging over the Jazz heading into the All-Star Break.
Enes Kanter isn't returning to Utah on the Jazz charter. He's headed to Pennsylvania to hang out with friends.

Pennsylvania is home to the political group the Kanter family belong to, the Gülen movement.
Ed: This article has been edited to reflect that Max Ergul is not a confirmed member of the Gülen movement, only has close ties to it due his duties with client Enes Kanter
The Utah Jazz have plenty of assets to use as the NBA trade deadline of February 19th (3:00 PM ET) is around the corner. As the deadline approaches, the Jazz have a plethora of decisions to make. Do they think they will extend Enes Kanter if he stays? Should they keep or trade Trey Burke? What are their biggest needs?
Plenty of Jazz fans have been clamoring for the Jazz to trade Trey Burke and Enes Kanter. However, there tends be an overvaluation of their trade market value among fans. So, in honor of the trade deadline we have come up with eight realistic trades. With each trade we will break down the trade, analyze it, and see opinions from writers for the other teams.
