Oh no, Enes Kanter shaved his mustache
By Ryne Prinz
All good things must come to an end, I suppose.
On Saturday night, Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter tweeted a video of himself shaving his mustache. Shield your eyes.
An hour later, Steven Adams, the remaining half of the ‘Stache Bros, responded.
The Thunder have to trade Kanter now, right? The duo was integral to defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the second round, outmatching the likes of Tim Duncan and David West. Chemistry means a lot in the NBA, and I simply don’t think these two centers will continue to have it after this incident.
So, I took to the Trade Machine and tried to construct some moves that would replace Kanter’s basketball ability and most importantly, facial hair.
The Houston Rockets receive Enes Kanter. The Oklahoma City Thunder receive James Harden.
This must be fate. The Harden trade would finally be redeemed, as the Great Bearded One rejoins Westbrook and Durant in Oklahoma City. The Rockets need some change after a disastrous season in 2015-2016. Now, this might not necessarily be the solution, but it’s certainly not one.
The Cleveland Cavaliers receive Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters. The Oklahoma City Thunder receive Kevin Love and J.R. Smith.
This move contains levels. First, the prodigal son Dion Waiters returns to Cleveland. Last season, Waiters was sent to the Thunder in a three-team trade that also included J.R. Smith. Again, fate.
Earlier this season, a troupe of Cavs players grew mustaches, including Smith and star forward Kevin Love. They would fit in perfectly with Adams. Now, we just really need a Russell Westbrook ‘stache. We REALLY need this.
The Detroit Pistons receive Josh Huestis. The Oklahoma City Thunder receive Spencer Dinwiddie.
There’s really no basketball reasons for this trade to happen. Spencer Dinwiddie just has a cool mustache.
