Rudy Gobert 5 years, $205M

Well at least my Rudy jersey will not be obsolete for a few seasons.

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!

Well, that settles that. Ton of money, but it’s obvious that the core of the team is in place.

We’ve got five years to bring a banner.

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.

I love Rudy and I agree with this

10 million more than he could have gotten as a UFA. Fifth year is a player option.

He can defend the paint like no one in the league right NOW, you pay for this.

We don’t need that. Let him space the floor by keeping people trying to disrupt the lob, opening up the perimeter. What we need is him to be the beast on defense that impacts every game on a consistent basis. That’s what takes us to the next level. We didn’t need AK to “work on his jumpshot,” we needed him to let more efficient guys score and him keep the energy and do the dirty work. I want Rudy getting high percentage lobs and putbacks.

He still averages 16 ppg on 70% fgp
That's very good

You agree that he’s one dimensional? False.

You love him but you agreeing with a **** post about him is your first act upon learning he’s here for the long haul?

Curious.

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.
