I want to see for who, then i'll see if it was a good trade.

So to upgrade our C position, we brought in a DPOY all-nba guy? Sheeeesh

I hate losing V8 but love this deal. Gobert is a top 10 player in the NBA and easily the best post defender and rim protector.

Strange no dlo? Have to see how many picks or the protections. But no McDaniels is big. Wondered about Kessler.

The Wolves finally got to respectability. All they needed was Edward's and a few young guys to keep developing.

They rocked the boat on this. Beverly provided identity. Beasley was a good bench scorer. Vanderbilt was solid on D for a big. The draft pick had potential.

Cmon Wolves Towns cannot defend any forwards in the NBA.

This is going to be situation where they figure out they look worse playing both bigs and look good when they play without one on the floor.

Looks like a 5 for 1 deal with Bolmaro thrown in too.

Not a fan of trading for Gobert but atleast they didn't give away Jaden. Connelly's future might really depend on how this trade turns out. At the moment, I just am not a fan of having 2 max contract bigs on team. Atleast would have made more sense if Gobert has 2 or even 3 years remaining on contract so that he wouldn't be on max contract by the time Ant's max extension kicks in. We still haven't addressed the issue of finding a lead ball handler

I would’ve rather traded Dlo than Bev and V8, but I’m sure Utah preferred these guys if McDaniels was untouchable
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

Rocking the boat is fine but not for a guy who can't shoot free throws and can't guard the perimeter. Every playoff series Gobert gets exposed. Every single time. This was a terrible trade.
