BLOCKBUSTER: Rudy Gobert Dealt To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have won the Rudy Gobert Sweepstakes. And the Utah Jazz have started the tear-down. Gobert is the first big domino to fall.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨

Timberwolves get: Rudy Gobert

Jazz get: Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro and multiple first-round picks

For the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, the Jazz receive a package including Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro and, of course, multiple first-round picks. Four of them. Five if you include Kessler, who was selected with the 22nd pick in this year's draft.

The T-Wolves get themselves a frontcourt tandem of Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns that has few equals in the NBA. With Towns firing from long-range and Gobert providing that elite rim protection, the Wolves will be tough to deal with.

Yes, even without Patrick Beverley. 

The Pat Bev Timberwolves era has come to a close...

What a time.

Reports are already circulating that the Jazz will now go after restricted free agent center Deandre Ayton from the Phoenix Suns.

The Utah Jazz have interest in exploring a trade for Suns restricted free agent Deandre Ayton. Would have to be a sign and trade since they do not have cap space.
