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?

How can it be an overpay if we make the Finals, for crying out loud?

Some people don't understand that a GM's sole job is to assemble a roster that can get you to the Finals or lay the groundwork to assemble a roster in the future to get you to the Finals.

That's it.
