Man this season is proving the Gobert trade wasn’t THAT bad

The fact that the Kyle Korver for a copy machine trade isn't on this list just shows you how good that copy machine was

As a Timberwolves fan, I was hella annoyed with the Gobert trade at first. Really seemed like a rash decision (to say the least). However, this 2023-2024 season, he's proven to be one of the more valuable members of the team in many occasions and is on track to win his 4th DPOY with our #1 D.

That bill russell one was crazy

Few things: - The TWolves trade seemed bad at the time and is still an overpay, but Minnesota's 1st in the west and is a surefire contender. - Ainge gave up a boatload of picks in that 2007 trade (7 alone for KG iirc) so if they didn't win a title it was a failure. (Edit: should also mention that this team almost failed multiple times: they went to 7 against the 8th-seeded Hawks and LeBron’s Cavs, then 6 games each against Detroit and LA., including a 24-point comeback in Game 3 of the Finals.) - Fultz ruined his shoulder, but he would've been a star had that not happened. - Kobe refused to play for the Hornets. - Rodman was an absolute cancer on the Spurs. He didn't stick to defensive assignments, constantly misbehaved, and was a huge reason they lost in the 1995 playoffs.

That Westbrook one was personal huh lol. And the spurs trading Rodman isn’t even all that bad. It was all about fit. Rodman was NOT going to play with Pop and the spurs.

Saying the wolves won 41 games with rudy without mentioning kat's 60+ missed games is a huge cherry pick lmfao. Saying kessler played better defense is fine, he did slightly. But let's not leave out the fact rudy averages 2x as many points and like 5 more rebounds per game.

I’m far from a wolves fan. But this season definitely changed the narrative of the trade. As of right now it absolutely seems worth it. Now they still overpayed a lot but the trade isn’t a failure.

You released this 41 min ago knowing Gobert is a rebounding/block league leader on the #1 team on the West while Kessler and Vando are coming off the bench in reduced roles lol nooooo way

It’s great that Gobert and the Wolves are playing much better this season, but I also understand the true value of this trade is gonna be judged in the playoffs.

One thing people overlook about the Rudy Gobert trade is that the Timberwolves did it to surround Anthony Edwards with winning basketball early in his career, which is something that they massively failed at when developing Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and then Towns and Wiggins. While Rudy Gobert hasn't had the most success in the postseason he's been on team's that at least made the playoffs every year which Minnesota can't say has been accomplished since the KG day's

It’s a good day when nonstop uploads

Please do more Draft stuff and trades; also about the NFL, thanks ❤️

If wolves win their first championship ever this year, this video will have aged terribly.

It's crazy how as soon as James got traded he turned into the one of the best players in the league

Kobe forced the hornets arms and said that he would only play for the Lakers. The hornets really didn't have a choice but to trade him.

Look at the lakers now lol it definitely wasn't Russell's fault that's for sure 😂

Let's not forget when the Knicks threw away their whole core of players, even the water boy, to get Melo early midway season when they could've just waited till summer to get him for free and keep a really good team.

As a Pistons fan, that Saddiq Bey trade we had last year was atrocious.

Yea the James Harden trade is dumb in hindsight but in real time it didn’t seem that bad.

As a wolves fan, The Gobert trade turned out to be great. All the first round picks are overrated. And this season, Gobert was way better than those 5 players that were traded. Gobert is as valuable as Ant and KAT come playoffs time

Celtics trading away Robert Williams III and Marcus Smart - who are both out of the season immediately - while getting Jrue and KP was gold.

The second I heard the Gobert trade being brought up I knew this dude has no real nba knowledge whatsoever, the Gobert trade was well and truly worth it. What did the wolves really give up? A few late first rounders and a few average role players??? They’re now first seed in the west and have been for 2 months, and they have by far the best defensive team in the league. They literally got exactly what they wanted. Bro has absolutely no ball knowledge

I know Marc gasol was an amazing player before anything, but k Brown for pau gasol was crazy at the time haha, I Loved gasol on the grizzly and thought he was super underrated since West has kg on wolves and Duncan and saw him play a bit of times, and he was always with Spain for Olympics.

Don’t forget Utah traded Trey Lyles and the 24th pick in the 2017 draft to Denver for the 13th pick. Utah took Donovan Mitchell at 13. In 2013 Utah traded the 46th pick and cash to Denver for the 27th pick. Utah drafted Rudy at 27. Denver won a title so fans cant really complain, but those are some lopsided trades.

Damn, right now Gobert trade seems to have worked perfectly

Tim Connally made the Gobert trade which is ironic because of all the shrewd picks he made for Denver. He helped build Denver into the championship team, Calvin Booth put the perfect finishing touches on it.

As an OKC Thunder fan I still can't believe OKC traded Harden. The mistake that they made was signing Ibaka first for 48 million which didn't leave enough to give Harden a legit offer. They should have waited to sign Ibaka and made sure they locked Harden down and then if they lost Ibaka so be it. Ibaka was the expendable player, not Harden. Had they kept KD, Russ and Harden together the Warriors dynasty never would have happened because OKC would have been kicking their ass every year on their way to multiple championships.

As an Orlando Magic fan, the first thing that came to mind was Rob Dumbass Hennigan trading Victor Oladipo, Sabonis (2 future all stars) and draft capital to OKC for Serge Ibaka (Out of the league a few years later). That's an all timer right there.

Rudy is getting another DPOY This year and is playing the best defense of his career. Don’t know if i can make it through the video talking about Kessler and vando are better defenders

Worst trade ever: Prime Gasol for a bag of popcorn.

The Rudy trade is an actually looking pretty solid now this season.

Not such a stupid trade now after the Timberwolves dethroned Joker's Denver Nuggets in a hard fought series.

You really love that cent on the dollar quote lol

Goat Chanel posted again

The Timberwolves have spent more time as the 1 seed this season than the rest of franchise history combined and have the best defensive rating in the league. I feel like they dont have many complaints atm.

He said jason terry, kg, and paul pierce is 110 years old combine, great counting my boy

The Bobcats training Kobe was one of the biggest mistakes ever

That the Vince Carter trade isn’t on this list tells you how many horrible trades there were in NBA history

The goat once again strikes

Calling okc a dynasty is a BIIIIG stretch

The broken fultz 😂😂😂

Hindsight trades shouldn’t be on here. Kobe and Dirk didn’t have the expectations that their careers ended the way the did…

Bro whatchu mean? Gobert is a beast defensively this year! 🔥

The amount of casual analysis and disinformation here is crazy 😂

what about the clippers thunder trade where the clippers got a husk of paul george and the thunder got shai and a decade's worth of first rounders

OKC Thunder deserves every spot on this list😂

acting like the wolves would be nearly as good as they are now without gobert is seriously ignorant lmfao

Celtics with two of the biggest fleeces in nba history s actually wild 😂

To be fair the Wilt Chamberlain trade made sense for the Warriors financially.

Need the NHL one for this.

“The harden trade marked the beginning of the end for the Thunder dynasty” What? We had no dynasty. We were a super young team with one finals appearance. We continued to be contenders for the next few seasons until KD left. That comment doesn’t make any sense.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 y’all know how to mention the most craziest points out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great video making

Now do a series where a trade was a win win situation for both teams

Okay to be fair to the Spurs, that “Best rebounder” has a lot other strings attached that are not going to show up in basketball stats, except maybe technical fouls and ejections. My favorite Dennis Rodman fact is that as of recently he was good personal friends with Kim Jong Un, and has spent more time in his presence and more time visiting North Korea, than any other American.

Adrian Dantley made every team he played for worse. It's not a coincidence that the year the pistons traded Dantley for Mark Aguirre, they immediately won back to back championships with basically the identical roster. Bob McAdoo did win an MVP but is considered by most NBA historians as one of the weakest MVPs in undoubtedly the weakest NBA Era. He also wasn't a winner until he became a sixth man/ role player. I'm surprised the Magic Johnson trade isn't on here cause that literally started the showtime Lakers and he's considered by most a top 5 player of all time and the goat of all PGs. Also, I agree with all the comments saying the Gobert trade should no longer be on this list. As a nuggets fan, you should have mentioned how we gave the timber wolves the 13th pick, which was used on Donovan Mitchell, for Trey effing Lyles AND we also traded the 27th pick to the Timberwolves which was used to draft Rudy Gobert so yeah....

Thank to this video my opinion about 90's "stars" being dumb solidified.

THIS IS CRUELY INSANE

The 1998 decision wasnt that bad Robert Taylor just had more to go off which made gm trust him no one really knew how great Dirk could be until his 4th year in Dallas

The reason the Timberwolves lost more games last year was because KAT was injured for more than half the season

Dude Minnesota is the number 1 in West 2 days after you release the video, how can that be a bad trade?

Desmond Mason and Gary Payton for Ray Allen was a weird ass trade too

As a Thunder stan the trade was dumb with Harden but we really had a better record without Kev Martin, and would've went back to the chip had it not been for a injury

Timberwolves trade looking fantastic now

Imagine passing on a future Hof 4 ice skating concerts😂😂😂

1:38 Perhaps Danny learned a bit from the legacy of Red.

Gobert stays underrated lmao

Orlando Magic trading Victor Oladipo and the rights to Domantas Sabonis for 6 months of Serge Ibaka probably set the franchise back a good 5 years

I know the racist dude who refused to draft Bill Russel ended up regretting it the rest of his life.

i really thought the Gobert Trade was GARBAGE! at first. But then i realized that Rudy Gobert was him on the defensive end.

As a Hornets fan, I understand why we traded Kobe since he wouldn't play for us, but trading SGA away on draft night has proved to be a terrible move.

KP for Dinwiddie+Bertans has to be mentioned at least. Mavs gave up a couple of 2nds too 😓

I was waiting for Vince Carter trade from the raptors

Wtf is this hate against Gobert ???? Do you even make sense ???? They are the first team in the West, how do you even think it's not worth ??????????????

That Ruby we still be stupid 😂😂😂😂

gobert is carrying the wolves defense this season tho

Dont forget that trade the Lakers did for Pau Gasol. Sending 4 nobodies for him to the Grizzlies

Oh so the Clippers have been cursed since Earth's existence? Got it lol

The Spurs trading Rodman had nothing to do with talent and everything to do with his attitude. Perdue was also a big part of the Spurs 99 championship.

Combined ages is weird lol never heard of someone doing that 2:37

It good now but realistically once they can’t afford max Reid anymore and or if kat get traded because of other teams wanting him idk if it’d be good in the long run

Do how good was prime kemba walker actually

Boston made a good decision trading those retired vets for picks to rebuild.

KG actually played with the Nets for another season…

Honestly as a Lakers fan when Russ trade happened i told myself wtf manager thinking... And that Kobe trade for Divac was Jerry Wests genius if im remembering right.

Who’s watching this as the Timberwolves with Gobert are the first seed

110 years old is crazy 💀💀

Bro traded free tickets for Bill Russell 😭

I'm here after i watched jokic scored 40 points on this "4 times DPOY" Gobert😂😂😂

Also thanking Danny Ainge for trading Robert Horry and Vando to the Lakers 😅

Rudy really stepped up this season

The Timberwolves traded their whole franchise for Gobert

Honestly gobert trade is turning out very well

first as a wolves fan it was terrible at first but he is doing well now

No mention of Ted Stepien? An owner so awful that the NBA specifically have a rule in place forbidding teams from trading consecutive 1st round picks?

The Dennis Rodman trade shouldn't be here considering that the Spurs had the short end of the stick with Rodman demanding a trade

Yeah the beginning of the video immediately negates everything else. I think the Wolves are pretty happy with Gobert right now. Let’s go J-Wolves, Game 7 against the Nuggets! They also picked off Conley and NAW from the Jazz, and they’re looking good.

Watching this video and seeing the players from the 50-70s, they would absolutely get annihilated in todays game. Ain’t no way

LEBRON is not INJURED, HE IS JUST a VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD ACTOR

Gieven a chance they would trade for Rudy again TBH
