Good luck finding anyone around the league — outside the state of Utah, anyway — that thinks Donovan Mitchell will be a member of the Jazz a year from now.
The Brooklyn Nets are asking for a historic return in a Kevin Durant trade — and after seeing what Utah got back for Rudy Gobert, the price went up. Other teams are understandably trying to negotiate that price down, and the result is talks that are dragging out and will likely continue to do so.
Rudy Gobert reads Twitter comments, so he's aware that Minnesota fans didn't like him very much during his first nine NBA seasons. And he also heard Timberwolves coach Chris Finch complain regularly about the way he sets screens.
Rudy Gobert has been traded to Minnesota. Royce O’Neal was traded to Brooklyn.
What the Rudy Gobert trade netted the Jazz was the foundation of a rebuild — four first-round picks plus young players in Walker Kessler and Jarred Vanderbilt. Sure, there were a couple of solid veterans coming back to Utah in Malik Beasley and Patrick Beverley, but this trade didn’t make the Jazz better today, it set them up for tomorrow.
