Utah Jazz Receive: F Andrew Wiggins, F Jonathan Kuminga, C James Wiseman
Golden State Warriors Receive: C Rudy Gobert
Keep in mind, that we said this was the best trade package the Golden State Warriors could offer for Rudy Gobert. If anything, they’re offering a package that’s a little bit above market value here.
Gobert is a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate, but as a non-spacing big man, he’s not going to be every team’s cup of tea.
He should be the Warriors’. Imagine this team’s defense with Gobert and Draymond Green up front. It’s no exaggeration to say that they could field the best defense in NBA history.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz will be in no position to pass up on this offer.
If they’re being forced into a rebuild, adding this collection of young talent is an opportunity they can’t afford to miss.

It’s such a tremendous collection that the Warriors may feel seller’s remorse. That would be understandable, but it shouldn’t stop them from pulling the trigger. They’d be pairing the two best defensive players of their generation.
If that’s not a recipe for an NBA championship, it’s hard to imagine what might be.
