Don’t know how much more patient you can be because Utah would have just kept Gobert.

This is my opinion too. Utah wasn’t going to let him go without an “overpay.” Minnesota knew they were “overpaying.” It was a matter of believing in your move and paying the asking price.

In other words, it may be above market value, but they aren’t stupid and didn’t get duped. They knew what they were doing. Only time will tell if they were right.
