Why The Utah Jazz Make The Deal

We just told you why the Utah Jazz make this deal, but we’re still willing to tell you in more detail.

It’s just good value for Rudy Gobert. Again, he’s a distressed asset. It’s widely known that the team has an incentive to move him. That never bodes well for a player’s value.

If any team would be willing to overlook that, it’s the Knicks. Again, Tom Thibodeau is probably sick of waking up from his recurring dream where he coaches Gobert. His influence over the Knicks’ organization should be enough to get this done.

Especially when you consider his apparent disdain for Cam Reddish. The intriguing young player was barely able to crack his rotation after the team acquired him from the Hawks.

The best rim protector in basketball is surely worth two contracts, Reddish and a pair of first-round picks.

We promise you that Thibodeau would agree.
