Luka Doncic is in sparkling form in these playoffs, so much so that he has ended the run of two teams already, and maybe soon three. Defeats of course, but which could have big consequences in the near future, including that of Rudy Gobert with the Jazz.
Rudy Gobert is no longer in the playoffs, but he continues to follow closely what is currently taking place with the Celtics, or even the Mavericks of Luka Doncic. This Sunday, the Frenchman did not hesitate to give his future champion, proof that he is quite sure of himself. However, it’s not a good time for the pivot, who knows he could be traded in the coming weeks, and precisely because of Dallas.
After all, Jazz can’t do it. The franchise may land in postseason every year, it fails to cross the second round, even when the elements are in their favor. Last year, the Clippers could no longer count on Kawhi Leonard, heavily injured and yet Quin Snyder’s men found a way to lose. We are now waiting for strong choices, with perhaps movement for Rudy.
Rudy Gobert soon exchanged… because of Luka Doncic?
On Twitter, these playoffs amuse many people, especially with the recent performances of Doncic, on a cloud. The Slovenian got the better of Utah, and now Phoenix, who have one thing in common: a pivot who could leave in the coming months. Gobert on one side, Ayton on the other, both impacted by the prowess of the Slovenian. It is all the more interesting for Dallas, in the footsteps of the Frenchman.
Rudy Gobert & DeAndre Ayton are both gonna be on different teams next season because of the Dallas Mavericks.

Rudy Gobert and Deandre Ayton will all end up on another team next season because of the Dallas Mavericks.
On the one hand, Ayton, who will be a restricted free agent. Last year, the pivot did not get his maximum contract, which he thought he deserved. He will have to find an agreement with the Suns for this offseason, but may also sign a deal with another team (unless Phoenix aligns). The door is open to a departure, especially that a drama broke after Game 7.
On the other, Gobert, who could pay for the repeated failures of Jazz. Cruel for our Frenchman, who wants to win everything in Salt Lake City, but he knows full well that he cannot decide everything. Its leaders will have to make a choice, and the loss against Dallas could be expensive. A double shot from Doncic? Perhaps, since according to some insiders, the Mavs are interested in the Frenchman.
Luka Doncic eliminated the Jazz to pass his first round of the playoffs, but he could also give his leaders a hand for this summer. Two birds with one stone for the Slovenian, who currently dreams of winning his title. Rudy Gobert could be by his side at the same time next year…
