The Portland Trail Blazers gave their Western Conference playoff push a boost by signing veteran center Enes Kanter on Wednesday.

Less than a week later and Kanter has found a new home in the Portland Trail Blazers, agreeing to a new deal according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "Excited to meet my new teammates, coaches, staff and most importantly the fans. Let's go Rip City".

The Oklahoma City Thunder matched the sheet, retaining Kanter before eventually trading him to the Knicks as part of the Carmelo Anthony deal in 2017.

The Knicks waived Kanter, 26, at the trade deadline last Thursday.

An eight-year pro, Kanter appeared in 44 contests for the Knicks this season, averaging 14.0 points on.536 shooting, 10.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.6 minutes a night. He will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. In fact, Kanter is even* a href="https://stats.nba.com/players/traditional/?sort=REB&dir=-1&Season=2018-19&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&PerMode=Per36&CF=GP*GE*20" * fifth in the NBA in rebounds per 36 minutes (minimum 20 games played).

"I look forward to helping the Blazers achieve the ultimate goal of competing for a championship", Kanter said in a statement, as he joins a team that is 33-23 and tied for fourth in the West. They were now able to come out on top of the sweepstakes after several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, showed interest.
