The Oklahoma City Thunder have matched the offer sheet signed by Enes Kanter with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kanter signed a maximum-level four-year deal with a player option on the fourth year with the Blazers on Thursday worth $70 million.

The Thunder were able to match the offer sheet Kanter signed due to his restricted free agency status.

"We traded for Enes last season with the intention of keeping him as a member of the Thunder for several years to come, and we are excited that he will continue with us," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. "He adds valuable depth to our roster, diversity to our frontcourt and the dimension that he brings offensively will positively impact our team."

 

Kanter's contract includes a trade kicker, which would force the Thunder to pay up to 15 percent of his remaining salary if traded within his new deal.
