2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

Concerns about playoff role are potentially valid with Gobert, but unknowable given the different scheme and players who would be around Gobert.  But the greater lesson of Wiggins and Horford is you may have to overspend to get the depth of quality needed to win it all.

No doubt overspending is required at some point. The problem with Gobert is that his overspend is going to average $42MM+ for the next four years which could significantly handcuff roster building.


Gobert+Luka+JB will be a significant portion of the cap space this year. Personally, I'm not intrigued enough by Gobert to sink that much of my flexibility into one player. I mean they traded KP to get more roster flexibility, among other reasons, and he doesn't make as much as Gobert. So let's use the flexibility to actually find paths to improvement and not just recreate the wheel here. Making a big move for Gobert feels like "been there, done that".
