Enes Kanter meets with GM Scott Perry, but not about leaving Knicks

DENVER — Enes Kanter revealed that he met with Knicks general manager Scott Perry Monday to express his frustration with the team’s struggles and his diminished role. But he said he has not and will not demand a trade.

Kanter, who had his starting job taken away three games ago, insisted that it isn’t the bench role that is bothering him as much as doing it for a team that has lost eight straight games.

“I did not ask for a trade, no,” Kanter said after scoring 17 points and getting 12 rebounds in the Knicks’ 115-108 loss to the Nuggets.
