As a Nugs fan, it seemed odd to me that TC supposedly lost his mind with the Gobert trade (even though your season was full of injuries) and even though he was widely respected for YEARS.
My fear was and is now growing even more every day that TC knew exactly what he was doing. He saw first hand that the Nuggets were the immediate and likely somewhat long-term threat and he built a team to combat them. Fucking smart. I am far from a BB genius or even above average IQ, but how the Suns are applauded for building a team with no solution to Jokic is baffling.
OK, I’ve kissed your teams ass enough. I am not scared. You are. See you after game 7. Also fuck your lakes - not worth the insane amount of mosquitos that come with them in my 2 day experience.
Hope I’m wrong!
The wolves can win a championship and still have overpaid for Gobert. 2 things can be true.
I’m glad we have him but I still think we overpaid. No other start has been traded for that much.
Durant and Mitchell both got more. Probably Harden too.
Bridges and Johnson alone are more than the Wolves gave up for Gobert. Jazz got Markkanen who is better than anything the Wolves traded. Ochai who was drafted way ahead of Kessler. A 20 ppg scorer plus and comparable draft compensation (probably better).
Wolves traded for a top 15 player without giving up any good players (aside from Kessler).
