Last time I checked Donovan also lost in the first round and his team wasn't dealing with injuries all year and didn't have to face the NBA champions in the first round.

You will have to read my post again. Yes I thought we got more for Rudy when the trade happened. Ochai had never played, Lauri had never been any good and Sexton had just been injured.
Draft picks was what both trades were really about and Rudy got more draft compensation. (More players too iirc)
Let's have a retrospective accounting:
The DM trade yielded:
-an All-Star (near All-NBA)
-a borderline starter/microwave scoring guard
-3 picks, 1.5 swaps (only half because the Jazz only receive one of the Cavs or Wolves '26 swaps)
The Gobert trade yielded:
-an All Rookie first teamer (3rd in voting for ROY)
-an interesting, young guard that's had some big moments
-4.5 picks, half a swap
That's what I care about.

If there’s one thing I didn’t consider was the locker room situation. Rudy is both hard to get along with and also very demanding of his teammates. Jimmy Freaking Butler got ousted from MIN because he was too hard on those youngins.
Yeah, Rudy is definitely part of the problem in MIN as he was here. But I completely overlooked that the locker room voices in MIN were KAT and DLO. It was doomed.
