Nah, you just take the part that’s protected and have it convey to us, then have further provisions given that scenario with the rest of them. But I haven’t thought about it so I’ll see myself out.

That’s terrible lol.

My idea was was saying that they need to make the pick they traded unprotected, but instead have the protected part come to us, but I guess it doesn’t address the compensation to whoever they traded the pick to on the subsequent years.

Tony's opinion on this trade idea kind of shocks me. Brown only has 2 years left on his contract and then he would almost certainly leave. This seems like a terrible idea for the Jazz and I would've expected Tony to quickly shoot it down.

Trading Don for JB, even with him leaving, is what I would have done. I would have kept Rudy and gone championship or bust on the next two years. I’ll eventually get around to posting about it, but I have serious doubts about the odds of the outcome of the Gobert trade being anywhere near a reasonable return when we end up looking at it in hindsight.

The good... Tony interacts on Twitter and has some fun.

The bad... he sometimes says dumb stuff like this without really thinking the whole thing through.

I’ll make a post. Not today, and not tomorrow, but at some point. I think it’s actually a really good move for Minnesota and this move will put them on the map. When they look back at what they gave up, there’s a high likelihood it will be a hindsight no-brainer.

I think you’re dead wrong. This was one of the most massive overpays in NBA history. I think there is a 99.9% chance we look back at this like we do with the Celtics/Nets trade and go what in the **** was Minnesota thinking? You just don’t trade unprotected picks like this that far out in the future. The next draft pick they can trade is 2031 which is 2 years away from being available. They have no way of becoming better as they traded their entire depth for Gobert as well. I think they’re a 5-6 seed next year and are an injury away from being a play-in team.

This was the perfect time to trade him and rebuild. The Clippers are getting Kawhi back and the Nuggets are getting Murray back. A really good team or two is going to just flat out miss the playoffs. This is not the right time to go all-in if you’re Minnesota and I just don’t think Gobert is the player you do that for considering the package they gave up.

Amen 100 times over. Can't figure out why we didn't trade the guy who clearly wanted out and get some assets to make at least a 1 or 2 year run with the all star who wanted to be here. And I have been trashed for saying the odds aren't great for getting much back on the Rudy trade but statistically speaking it is true. Hope this works out but going the OKC route when we could have made a run around Rudy will not be fun IMO.

Yeah, if we'd have kept Rudy and wanted to go all in for the next two years it would have made some sense, but now that Rudy's gone it makes no sense whatsoever.
