Gobert to Minnesota

Ayton is younger and fits Don's timeline

Also just different that rudy. Rudy defensively is about the best you will ever see and very efficient offensively but limited. Ayton much less limited offensively and not as good defensively

We hosed Tim when we got him and we gonna hose him on this one too.

Minny gonna Minny!

They are a cursed franchise. And they just gave the Jazz three unprotected picks. And a top-5 protected pick.

Hope it does turn into something good because right now we got nothing back other than rotation guys and mid 1st round picks that rarely generate anyhting.

Yep, like donovan and rudy lol.

I think it's at least somewhat likely that the team will suck but Ayton will be more valuable individually than what we have to give up to get him. I don't mind just trying to rehab his value if the price is right.

Really good post.

Of course they could but the odds are against it - this is a wing and a prayer. We traded an all star and HOF type player and got very little known talent in exchange. And folks are excited about it? Again, I hope this means we are blowing it all up. If this is to build around Donny it is very puzzling.

Maybe if almost all the folks are excited about it and all the national media folks who aren't even jazz fans are saying that the jazz won this trade big time then maybe you might be the one who is wrong?

Exactly what I was thinking. 2023 should be a bad pick, but you never know about later than that.

And even bad picks are sometimes good picks (see gobert, jimmy butler and probably 100 other examples)

I want Bam, Herro, and 3/4 unprotected 1sts

Hells ya

LOL at the idea that Don and Ayton would do anymore than Don and Rudy.........or Ayton, Booker, Paul.

I pray we arent trying to get Ayton at all.

Well said. Ayton is not the move if you’re trying to win.

One nice thing about the picks..... I will certainly forget about them right up until draft time year after year and get all excited again. This gift gonna keep giving for a long long time.

Yep.

Not to mention - a “bad” (mid to late) first round pick can have tremendous long-term value. Teams want to buy into the first round on draft night for their guy and offer something unprotected in the future.

Never know what some of these turn into.

Summer league will be a lot more fun to watch now with Kessler on the team.

And I would think Bolmaro should be there.

What are you having for dinner tonight?

Some kind of chicken fajita caserole stuff, string cheese, carrots, aussie bites, and watermelon. In T-minus about 15 minutes.

Trust me on this: You are dramatically underestimating the trade value of 1st rounders.

Check that, unprotected first rounders. Even more valuable'er
