Pour Gilbert Arenasthere is clearly a loser in the trade of Rudy Gobert in Minnesota: the Jazz. Agent 0 had a good laugh when he was told the counterpart sent to Utah in the deal, namely Malik Beasley, Pat Beverley, Leandro Bolmaro, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and 4 1st rounds of draft plus an exchange of pick in 2026 if that of Wolves is better.
“I’m still waiting for you to give me names there!” It’s a great effect when you throw a lot of names like that, like Rudy Gobert against 10 different things. These 10 things are just things right now… I mean… it’s Utah! The only good thing in Utah right now is what, Spida-Man and Dwyane Wade! Apart from that… You throw a whole bunch of ‘nothing at all’ in exchange. Nobody in Utah thinks ‘Yes we have a lot of super… we have a futu…’ No! They are not happy with the deal.
There is not a player where they can say ‘Yes, we have high hopes for him’. No no. And what first-round picks will Minnesota get them if the team makes the playoffs every year? Fool’s gold (pyrite), a few magic beans, 2 coupons at Red Loabster (American restaurant chain), that’s what they basically gave away. They grabbed the first guys they found in the locker room and threw them in the deal. »
