If you are a Warriors fan and were hoping to add Enes Kanter to the squad...

... well, sorry.

Kanter announced on Wednesday afternoon he is signing a contract with the Blazers.

Apparently, a lot of teams were in the mix for his services.

Kanter -- who was traded from Oklahoma City to New York in the Carmelo Anthony deal back in the summer of 2017 -- was waived by the Knicks last week.

The 26-year old wasn't a fan of Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder for the Warriors, and the two have certainly expressed their differences over the last couple of years. 

When Kanter left OKC, he had a message for his former Thunder teammates: "Please beat the Warriors for me."

Kanter's new team will host Durant and the Warriors tonight in Portland, but it seems unlikely that the big man will be in uniform.
