The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.

Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)

KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)

Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)

If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?

    I think that what this does for Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels as young cornerstones, this is worth it. This puts them in contendership at an early age. If they are around in 5-8 years and still trying to compete to titles on this team, they will be extremely experienced and hardened.

      This was the whole point of the trade imo. It was exactly what Tim Connelly and Chris Finch said at the press conference introducing Gobert. The point was to create a winning environment for Ant and Jaden so they will be playoff seasoned and well developed in their primes. The want to create a winning culture and want Ant, Jaden and KAT to win early and often so they can build winning habits.
