In the spirit of Rudy Gobert’s return to Utah on Friday, RohanNadkarni revisits how some offseason trades have fared over a quarter of the way into the NBA season
has said the team needs to be more dominant in the paint if Towns and Gobert are playing together. Team president Tim Connelly said this week he expected “growing pains” for his new big-man duo.
Simply put, the Gobert trade isn’t working at the moment. Ultimately, If the goal was to supercharge a team that didn’t make it out of the first round last year, the Wolves are currently closer to not making it back to the playoffs than making it deeper into the postseason.On the other hand, the second jettisoned Jazzman has been thriving. Mitchell has been outstanding for the . Cleveland is third in the East as well as third in net rating in the whole league 25 games into the Mitchell era.
The offensive explosion has been essential, with numerous Cavs in and out of the lineup. Cleveland has only one five-man group that’s played 100 minutes together this year. Interestingly, the Cavs haven’t always set the world on fire with Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and sharing the floor together. Those four cornerstones share only a 1.2 net rating in 216 minutes. But what the Cavs have this year is better Garland insurance.
It’s strange, because of all the star groupings between Atlanta, Minnesota and Cleveland, the Young-Murray pair has put up the best numbers. But the Hawks feel closer to the Wolves than the Cavs in terms of overall success. Atlanta was bumped in the first round last season, and it certainly doesn’t look to be a shoo-in to go further this year.
