Gobert to Minnesota

Obviously we know that those 16/17 picks became two All-Stars… but, at first glance, this is comparable to one of the all time worst/greatest trades.
 
This frees up a ton of money for next year. Bev has one year left and Beasley on a team option next year. Vanderbilt is a low pay piece to keep.
 
The highest that Minnesota has been in the standings since 2004 was 7th (this year), correct? They’ve had how many #1 picks in that time? This is crazy.
I hope you are not thinking they are going to be in the lottery again. 23 and 25 most likely will be in the 20s. The ones that might have lotto potential are the later picks.
 
We traded Rudy Gobert and Royce O'Neale for:

76ers 2023 1st, Timberwolves 2023 1st, Timberwolves 2025 1st, Timberwolves 2026 pick swap, Timberwolves 2027 1st, Timberwolves 2029 1st (top 5 protected)

Walker Kessler (22nd pick), Leonardo Bolmaro (20th pick), Jarred Vanderbilt, Patrick Beverly, and Malik Beasley
