What's new

Rudy Gobert 5 years, $205M

He still averages 16 ppg on 70% fgp
That's very good
Yes but he very well could be a 20-10 guy with just a tiny bit of offensive prowess outside if the PnR. I'm not disappointed in the contract but I do agree he could get much better and become unstoppable if he could only develop either a post move or an 8-10 ft jumper.
 
Extreme over pay for a one dimensional player. Maybe he can use some of that money and learn how to shoot outside of 2 feet. Or even better, maybe he can finally learn how to catch a bounce pass!
Ahem...skip pass, thank you very much. Have you learned nothing from bolerhack?
 
It’s not much more than I was hoping for. Let’s see if the team can now stay focused on what’s important and do some **** that matters.
Like swapping Conley for a big 3&D wing.
 
So we have

Mitchell
Gobert
JC
Bogey
Royce
Ingles
Favs

All locked up for a few seasons

This is our window. Not sure how much space we will have but it has to be minimal.

Yup. Running on all cylinders we are looking pretty decent for a championship, honestly.
 
I guess the question that comes to mind for me is when is Rudy going to show up with a reliable mid range jumper and 3 point shot ?

Everyone outside of the Jazz fans are going to really ruthlessly hate on this. So I hope Rudy has room on his shoulders for more chips.
 
The only way this salary is worth it is if we make it to the finals. That's it.

This is the 3rd largest deal in the history of the NBA, and he just got outplayed in the first round of the playoffs by a player in his same position.

I believe in this team. We gotta make it happen now.

He doesn't need to do this. We have a glut of 3-point shooters. Just let him focus on defense and improve his ability on the P n R and foul shooting. That's all he needs to do.
