The Utah Jazz has reportedly traded big man Rudy Gobert, a three-time All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year, to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Utah’s front office had made some strange moves leading up to this deal. They also surrendered a ton of draft picks to make this transaction happen. While it’s interesting to see new Timberwolves executive Tim Connelly make such an aggressive move, it’s also exciting.
Minnesota will reportedly send Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Leandro Bolmaro as well as their recent first-round pick (Walker Kessler) to Utah in the deal.
With that in mind, the T-Wolves are going to feel mighty different next season. Here is how we should expect the starting lineup to look for the first game of next season.
