Gobert to Minnesota

[fishonjazz]

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this one.

Well one thing thats nice to know is that after acquiring gobert the wolves have no better odds at winning the championship than the jazz did….. after losing in the first round to the mavs without luka multiple games. I dont think any of us thought the jazz would contend for a title in 2023. According to this no one thinks the wolves will either.

Jazz never going to win a title. All we've done is just commit to mediocrity. Rudy at least made us relevant

First round exit relevant?

unless you've just given Minnesota of all places the tool to contend for 5-6 years and the draft picks are a whole bunch of useless

Maybe and maybe not. We definitely took some of their tools as well.
Contributing players on rookie deals are very useful tools. Just ask the golden state warriors.

Iverson isn’t a bad comparison either, I’ve seen worse. Another undersized guard who put up amazing scoring stats but wasn’t nearly good enough to win it all. Do we think Spida is better than Iverson? If not, then building around him would be a mistake.

I think getting to the finals is nearly winning it all.

KAT is a better defender than Mitchell or Bogey.

Russell is a better defender than Mitchell. He's also in a contract year.

They have ZERO sizes issues. They will be more motivated than Utah has been defensively.

When Edwards tries on defense he actually makes a huge impact unlike Mitchell.

Off the bench they got one of the most elite team defenders in Kyle Anderson.

Jaden McDaniels is potentially high level on defense and will now be playing in position in terms of strength.

Not sure about Jaylen Nowell or Wendell Moore's defense, but Josh Minott is a defensive stud of a rookie. Easily in the top 10 of the class.

I thought i saw that kat just got paid.

Maybe? I mean, we’ve nearly won it too. It would be nice to actually win in sometime in my lifetime. I’m 36 now. I remember the east being pretty weak and he got wiped out by the Lakers (and probably would’ve been wiped out by the top tier of WC teams). That was also the mega “loaded” Philly team with Brown as their coach.

All I’m saying is we should steer clear from “building” around undersized guards who score a lot and do little else. At least Iverson got steals I guess.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Towns signed a four-year, $224 million supermax extension with the Timberwolves. The deal will keep Towns under contract with the Timberwolves through 2028.

I’m actually really excited to see how the twin towers work in Minny. I kinda hope it does. I’m tired of everyone trying to be Steph. It would be nice to see the center position become relevant again.

Who was the last team in the NBA to win a title built around a big like Rudy? Who did Steph shut down on the Warriors path to the title this season?

Name another player like Rudy

I wish I had grown up to be 7 feet tall. $200 million? Amazing. That’s gotta be bigger than most city budgets here in Utah.

Wow man I actually just cried. Wife sometimes asks me when I cried the last time and I have no answer. Now I have one.
Gobert.. Ingles.. John Lucas III, Ty Corbin, Bryce Cotton.. Quin.. a lot of stuff resurfaced suddenly and I got so emotional. I'm not even from Utah, I am from overseas. It was fun waking up at 5 AM to watch dude bring his A-game every possession.

You said iverson wasnt nearly good enough to win it all. I simply disagree because i think getting to the finals means you nearly won it all.
