Mavs Find Rim Protection in Rudy Gobert

Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: F Davis Bertans, G/F Tim Hardaway Jr., 2023 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (DAL) 
Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Rudy Gobert 

Why not have the best of both worlds? This deal has the Dallas Mavericks acquiring a big man who can anchor their defense.

At the same time, it also has them acquiring one of the best defensive players in the NBA. 

Meanwhile, Robert could be available this summer. Assuming the Minnesota Timberwolves don’t advance past the Denver Nuggets, they could look to make big changes this offseason. 

This may not be an ideal one. The Wolves gave up a lot more than this to acquire Gobert. No matter.

Those costs are sunk, Gobert’s value has depreciated, and this is the most the Wolves should expect to receive for him. Even if it means a subpar summer for the organization.
