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?

People thought the bucks "overpaid" Jrue Holiday until it brought them a championship banner

It's always 100% worth it

Only if it works out. Like the Kawhi trade. Ball bounces slightly off for a split second and suddenly you traded your franchise player and picks for a 1 year rental that ended in ECF appearance.

It wasn't the trade that brought them the championship with all due respect
