Kind of sounds like the GM is just mad at how Kanter left and wants to screw him over.

That's exactly what a good defense attorney would try and do.....don't look at my client, look at those greedy bastards that are trying to make money off of him if he can't play college ball..
The kid was paid $6500 per month and they are trying to equate that to a scholarship to play at a private school in the US? Come on.
Amateur athletics should be amateur. I always will favor a system that says you can't get paid a dime to play a sport, any sport, or you lose your amateur status. This includes basketball players getting paid to play baseball or any other sport like skiing, swimming, badminton, etc. They need to take the high school scholarships away too.
