While the Jazz made a trade overnight with the Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski took the opportunity to distill some interesting information about the future of Rudy Gobert. We take stock of the French.
For Jazz, the coming season promises to be important to say the least. Donovan Mitchell wants to reach a new level in the West, and the franchise again wants to access the playoffs to take revenge on the back of the Nuggets. If this fails, the whole project could be called into question. Is a reconstruction possible? Let’s say it wouldn’t be very surprising.
In all this, we find Rudy Gobert, determined to release a great season in 2021 with Utah. This is all the more important for him that a contract extension is coming soon. The question being: will the two parties succeed in reaching an agreement on the amount?
Eligible for the supermax, can Gobert be considered a star? Or should it be offered a lower amount? The front office will have to ask the right questions but if we trust Adrian Wojnarowski, he wants to keep his player. This is what the insider reveals in his latest tweet.
The Jazz save $5M in salary for 2020-2021. Utah is working to re-sign Jordan Clarkson and extensions are on the horizon for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. Knicks get the two 2023 second-round picks to take on the salary. https://t.co/pZTs4OmRE0

Jazz saves $ 5 million for 2020/21. Utah is working on re-signing Jordan Clarkson and extensions are on the horizon for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
No information on a potential deal, but we can tell that Gobert and his frankness have already discussed the subject. In the event that nothing goes as planned, remember that the hub will be free to reach a new destination for the summer of 2021.
Rudy Gobert for a long time at Jazz? It seems to be off to a good start. However, beware of a bad surprise for the fans.
