Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

[Elizah Huge]

Yeah, I'd disagree.

Gobert isnt getting you more than 2 picks. This we get two picks plus two guys who were just 1st round picks, one of which seemingly has starter potential in the league. And who knows what Bolmaro could do if given unlimited opportunity. He's still a ways away, but he has promise if he can develop a shot.

Plus you get the unprotected 2026 pick from the Mavs which could be a potential A+ asset.

Such a low end return for Gobert. If the Chicago deal was legit we’d get Patrick Williams and a first. This deal just doesn’t do it for me.

Ehh, maybe if they include Dalen Terry.

I'd trust the Wolves to be mediocrly good more, like giving us back high teens picks both years vs a late 20 for the Bulls.

I also dont think Patrick Williams is that much better than McDaniels and I dont think Terry is better than Bolmaro.

Vanderbilt, McDaniels and Wendell Moore to basically fill up the size and athleticism at the 3/4 spot which we've been lacking. Then D'Lo to match the salary and we can use his expiring to get some assets from another team. Then of course a couple of first rounders from them. Ain't taking anybody else from that Wolves team

There is literally no one from the Wolves I would want in exchange for Rudy. No matter how you slice it, it would be a very lop-sided trade, unless they wanted to swap KAT for Rudy, but I wouldn't do that for us either. Only way is if we can get a third team and a lot of picks.

... or will the fanbase always make excuses for his inability to score?

Who makes excuses for Gobert's inability to score in isolation?

We upgrade offensively at center

We upgrade offensively in posting up (only) at center.

I could not possibly care less about Dalen Terry. I also still see Williams as more of a theoretically good player than an actual one. Big ehh to Chicago unless they can find a way to route picks.

I like your Timberwolves/Mavs scenario. But I would really like to add Walker Kessler in there.

i wouldn't mind kessler, but in terms of role players on minny, vanderbilt is the prize.

I'll have to do a dive I guess but that makes no sense to me unless he suddenly became a shooter or Draymond Green.

Even via a stretch 5 Rudy could do neither

The masses don't clam up he needs more touches he isn't getting the ball enough blah blah blah

his ability to impact winning and make plays without scoring is elite. just an animal who never stops moving out there.
