He should have beat Draymond earlier too. No reason anyone should have voted for Draymond over Gobert aside from reputation.

Many became more neutral towards Hayward after his career in Boston fell apart.

99% of Warriors fans didn’t even know the Warriors had a team in the 80s, 90s, or 00s.

He has Joe Ingles on his team.

Marcus Smart robbed him two years ago. Rudy got downgraded for having teammates who did not care about defense and voter fatigue.

Utah was still a top 10 defense and Donovan “Not my job” Mitchell refused to play defense at all that season and Clarkson and Bogie were horrible.

There was a play when Jarrett Allen was on the Nets where Gobert guarded all 5 players the entire possession. Everyone else was watching him do work. Ended up in a Nets shot clock violation.

It was kinda like the Chet highlight tonight except I think the entire team opted not to shoot against him at least once and passed out during the possession.

I am not sure what the defense is supposed to be doing but they keep leaving that corner three wide open.

Naz fouled him there but the replay shows her calling the foul before the foul happened.

These courts don’t seem safe. There has been a lot of slipping, etc. in these in season tournament games.

Luka has no trade value. I am not even sure he is tradeable. Wolves don’t have much trade capital without moving a rotation player. Most rotation players are probably more valuable to the Wolves than to another team. They have a good second round pick this year (Washington Generals or Memphis Grizzlies) and some pick swaps.

He is a huge culture/locker room risk. The reward isn’t worth upsetting the team’s culture.

Read through the articles I posted above.

The Nuggets didn’t give up on him because he didn’t have potential. The Nuggets gave up on him because of his attitude and his locker room toxicity.

Bones Hyland seems to be someone who thinks he is a star and wants to be treated as a star.

Jazz attempted to make Burks a PG early in his career. He is probably a better option at PG than some of the players the Wolves have had at PG but for sure not a PG.

I have 0 trust that Gallinari can stay healthy.

I think Finch should have played NAW more in the 4Q (and TBJ in the 3Q). I am guessing Finch went away from NAW because he wasn’t making the open corner 3 but Conley and KAT were the only ones making shots yesterday.

Refs must have decided that the Wolves got too many calls in the 1H because every 50/50 call went against them. Sacramento did the Jerry Sloan “they can’t call them all” strategy in the 2H.

TBJ plays great and helps the Wolves go on a big run in the 2Q. DNP-CD in the 3Q?

There didn’t need to be anyone to bid against though. The Jazz could have kept Gobert. They were one of the best teams in the NBA and he was their best player.

Jazz could have had…

Gobert, ? Markkanen, ? Bogdanovic (or assets from a trade) ?, Clarkson, NAW Conley, ?

Then used the Cavs draft picks and swaps, Sexton, Ochai, the Nets pick, their own picks, and other assets to complete their roster.

Draymond is insecure but I think he knows. Deep inside, he doesn’t was to say it, but Gobert has always been a much better player than him.
