Now, if an unquestionably obvious "big swing" comes along, sure. But, it's easy to miscalculate how obvious the fit will be with certain players. Most of us were pretty sure Porzingis would fit, after all.
I want to avoid another Porzingis situation, wherein the team is stuck with a high priced player who doesn't elevate the team and might even hold it back, at all costs.
I consider Gobert a more acceptable risk because of his injury history. Injuries was the main reason KP didn't pan out here even though there are other overblown narratives.
The real risk with Gobert is trading with Danny Ainge.
It doesn't have to be Gobert though, there are other moves we could make but we need a serious rim protection upgrade coming from somewhere.
