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?

I’m 30 and didn’t start following closely until 2007. I’ve known nothing but trashy seasons and essentially 3 gentleman’s sweeps. The play-in win with Pat Bev running around like we won the Finals was our first taste of actually winning the whole thing in what, 17 years?

Yeah, a few deep playoff runs (or at least making it to the second round for the next 3 seasons) makes the trade an easy win for us.
