Kanter posts, hastily deletes tweet of deer emoji

Enes Kanter is no stranger to playful trolling, but was the New York Knicks center just having some fun Thursday night when he tweeted out an emoji of a deer, or signaling an imminent move to the Midwest? Could he be Milwaukee bound?

Kanter deleted the tweet shortly after posting it.

The 26-year-old is reportedly leaning toward picking up his $18.6-million player option with the Knicks for 2018-19, but that could be a precursor to a trade. If he were to opt out and become a free agent, the Bucks - who are over the salary cap - would only be able to offer him the midlevel exception, expected to come in around $8.6 million.
