The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.
Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)
KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)
Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)
If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?
To me the trade will always be an “overpay” but if it yields them something like a championship I’m willing to call it a good trade for the wolves but still an overpay. They aren’t mutually exclusive sometimes you have to overpay
