So, XXL extension to Jazz or a new challenge for Gobzilla?

In a sequence of the show “beIN Center” last Sunday, Rémi Reverchon imagined, fictitiously, the possibilities that could be offered to Rudy Gobert if he was brought from Jazz. The opportunity to take stock of the situation of our favorite French hub.

Cock-a-doodle Doo. While they received our Frenchie Rudy Gobert on the show “beIN Center”, the friends of beIN Sports were able to get caught up in the following game: imagine which franchise could go the French hub if he had to leave Utah . Entering its last year of contract in Salt Lake City, the Gobzilla can therefore potentially find itself Unrestricted Free Agent in 2021 if negotiations are not successful with the Jazz. So it’s not impossible that our big blue white red hobbyist finds himself in the racket of another NBA franchise in the not so distant future, even via a transfer. Present among Mormons since he was in the Big League, the neo-All Star and two-time Defender of the Year – candidate for a supermax extension – could perhaps want to see the country to aim higher than a conference semifinals, where he’s been stuck for a few years with his SLC buddies. We like you Jazz fans, but there is more seriousness to play the title. So, if we want to speculate a little, where could the giant of Saint-Quentin end up? The friend Rémi Reverchon therefore offers four ideas: the Celtics, the Warriors, the Mavericks, and the Nets.

For Boston, to see Rudy with a green jersey, that would frankly be fun. While the pivot position is often seen as a position to be reinforced in the C’s, it is clear that the Stifle Tower would be an addition of weight and size. He would also find his compatriot Vincenzo Poirier. It might even be funny to send him there in exchange for… Gordon Hayward for example, a dedication to Mormon friends. If he were to stay in the West, see it as the control tower of the defensive game of Warriors with Draymond Green, or see him associated with Kristaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic at the Mavs, this is the kind of image that makes you dream. For the Dubs, we know that they are looking for a pivot for next year, they who are often associated with James Wiseman, one of the nuggets of the 2020 Draft. Golden State aims for an athletic and rather mobile interior, not necessarily them. Rudy’s prime qualities, but Steve Kerr probably wouldn’t say no. Mavs side, a European connection with Luka and KP, we sign every day for that. Finally, back to the East, among the Nets : on paper, it looks nice but it’s hard to imagine our French in Run & Gun 2.0 by Steve Nash – Mike D’Antoni – Amar’e Stoudemire, and it’s been a long time since MDA saw a player over 2m15 so close. And if not, a little proposal from the house, why not Clippers to boost the internal defense of the other Los Angeles team, and thus be able to compete with the best big men in the NBA?

In any case, the double DPOY file will be interesting to follow. Will Jazz do the maximum to extend it, even if it means breaking the bank? With the probable big extension of Donovan Mitchell, Utah and Rudy will they find an agreement on a lower deal in order to continue the adventure together? Will Mormons decide to transfer Gobert to avoid the risk of losing him for nothing in 2021? These are the questions we can ask ourselves today in relation to its future. But in the end, it doesn’t matter where The French Rejection ends up, because its 1,245 km long arms are sure to continue to frighten a bunch of NBA players for quite a few years to come.

Either way, while our national Rudy looks set to play his final year of contract in Utah, his defensive dominance and impact in rackets clearly make him a player who will be hitting rumors in the months to come. to come if no extension is signed soon.
