Lol. Seriously, it'd not the owners' money I'm concerned about; it's the team's financial flexibility and the huge allocation of payroll to a one-way player. $20 million for Capela makes sense. $40 million for Gobert does not.
I don't think Gobert is a one way player though. He is an elite screen setter, rebounder and roll threat. I think some of his defensive struggles are over exaggerated because he plays with terrible wing defenders so when teams go small on the jazz they can't stop dribble penetration what makes gobert have to rotate a ton. Think Ant, McDaniels, Conley, Pat Bev and Moore with help with that

He is not agile enough. He is a regular season DPOY, because players don't really give a shit. Players can get off a 3 shot in a millisecond. Gobert is an afterthought then. Unless refereeing changes where you can actually stick people on defense, Gobert types are a waste of money.

Unless you face a team in the playoffs with a true center. He would be pretty valuable then. Playing against GS? Yeah he would possibly barely play.
