Does anyone else think this might have been a demand from Kat to sign? Either get Rudy or ayton.

I think 224 million dollars is still 224 million dollars. So that's a no from me lol

I don't. I think the FO made their list of skillsets they wanted to add to the roster. You see so many other Western Conference teams getting better. The Wolves were on course to just "see how well we can grow". Connelly changed that by bringing in Gobert. We are definitely in a higher tier right now.

Yeah, what's probably more notable is they wait until KAT signed before pulling the trigger! :D

You do know Rudy is a better player then KAT right? There is a thing called defense and the Wolves just got it done. They are also banking on those picks being late 1st rounders, with Ant here who legitimately could be a top 5 player in a few years those odds are fairly likely as well.

I love the trade. The Wolves are now Championship contenders.

This is laughable. Beyond stupid. That offer doesn't get you KD or Ayton?

The guy plays amazing D when half the league is coasting. Come playoff time he becomes unplayable. You want to pay 40 mil for a guy who is targeted when things get real? This is stupid.

The Wolves just got played.

The Timberwolves are over the moon about landing Rudy Gobert. This is the player they believed raised their ceiling more than any other available one. Lots of celebrating internally right now.


And a big thanks goes to Gobert's teammates who pooped their pants in the playoff series against Dallas, resulting in the Jazz tearing it down. And the Wolves were the ones who swooped up and nabbed the biggest prize off their roster.

Nice!

Connelly was always drafting players and having to worry about trading them for value because the depth of his roster. He alleviated that problem. Lol

Does Naz Reid make more sense to this roster now with Gobert on it?

Kinda crazy that Utah is likely getting more for gobert than the nets will get for Durant (different scenarios, but still). I think we need to get better defensively than jmac and nowell (either by miraculous improvement from nowell / growth spurt by jmac or signing a vet.
