So are gobert making 46m anf some here still want him
It depends how you get Gobert? If you could just add Gobert to this year's core team, it would be great. Unfortunately you cannot. THJ+Bertans+ something would be great too. It won't happen so there's not much reason for discussion. They should be able to upgrade Powell and sign Brunson, that's minimum expectation for offseason, anything more would be big +.
I do not agree. The issue for me isnt that its impossible to trade for him. The issue is u lock in 46m/year of you capspace on a guy that been more of less played of the floor in the po now what, 3 years in a row? U paying 46m for a guy that does nothing for u in the po! Thats fine for knicks or magic whos whole goal is winning rs games to get to the po, but if the goal is championship u cant have that. And its for like 3 or 4 mord years! And thats not even getting into what having him on the floor does with spacing and how bad he fits. All those guys mentioned that wouldnt get the deal done, thj, bertans, frank, each individually contributes more then gobert when it comes to po.
Im still saying 15m for brunson, i know its seemed low atm, but higher and i think we regret it. I actually prefer if he dont take it to snt him for whatever we can get, ise luka dinwiddie and frank as pgs (frank playing off ball with 1 ox the other) and have thj and bullock fill more sg mins. And hopefully get frontcourt help or picks for brunson that can be used in frontcourt over paying some of thd numbers mentioned
Gobert is paid big money because he's Utah's most important player. Dude has insanely high TRB%, blocks shots, can be amazing above the rim player and is simply a huge difference maker under the rim.
Reason why he looked useless is because guys like Bogdanovic and Mitchell had On/Off -17/-18 while Gobert was still +0.7. I hope you can comprehend how absolutely horrible those On/Off numbers are compared to Gobert.
Jazz have huge problems defending perimeter and can make Gobert look bad because he has to cover basically entire floor. Similar with Doncic who looks way worse than he is in reality because he has no one who can protect his back.
And Gobert is paid 38M next year not 45M. Mavs could easily match that but Mavs problems are their own contracts with additional years in it. They'll likely need to include draft picks but this is also where it gets complicated because they still owe 23 pick to Knicks.
