Rudy Gobert is finalizing a four-year, $100M-plus contract extension with the Utah Jazz, league sources tell @TheVertical.

I think they could end up regretting not giving him 5 years. The Jazz go as Rudy goes.

Still a great deal for them, with guys like Steven Adams getting paid the same amount. Adams is a good player but Rudy is as good a rim protector as the game has today. Utah and Minny are going to be absolute forces in short order.

Utah has "supposed" to been a force for the last 4 years now...every year they always seem to disappoint. jazz are slaw and wont achieve anyting until they hire jerry sloan back.

[imdaman99]

Doesn't the guy miss like 20-30 games every year?

[FireDavidKahn]

Rudy is worth every penny of this deal.

[HenryGarfunkle]

Gobert sucks.

This is the year they finally make the playoffs at least. 6th or 7th seed if they get (and stay) healthy. They have one of the best starting units and a deep bench. Great defensively too. They aren't going to contend for a title but then again neither are 27 or so other teams.

They have been tanking. Not sure who expected them to be a force? :confusedshrug:

They still act like they are tanking now. Jerry has dementia. :facepalm

He was hurt last year. Been healthy otherwise.

As far as I'm concerned not putting together the best roster you can or playing your best players is tanking. They could have signed a veteran pg and got rid of Burke. They didn't. They could have played Withey instead of Lyles and they didn't. Until they got Mack they didn't act like they were trying to win and by then it was too late.

Only reason I thought they would try this year is because Hayward can opt out. But they are still playing Exum and Lyles despite the fact that they look like they need some time in the D-league. :rant

They're in the same position as the Nuggets. They have some nice complimentary pieces but no true star or first option. Not bad enough to get a high lotto pick but not good enough to be a serious playoff team.

Rudy at 27th was a great pick! :bowdown:

[Artillery]

Yup, if Jazz didn't take him you can be damn sure San Antonio would have grabbed him up with the 28th pick. Gobert would have been their permanent replacement for Duncan as far as rim protection goes if he fell to them. 100 mil is solid value in the current market. Just needs to stay healthy.

yea if like one dimensional players who you can basically find anywhere. I can name at least 10 other centers who do the exact same thing rudy does if not better. ill give a few names.

hassan,deandre,dwight (believe it or not),kat,thompson,len,steven adams.

I guess you can call him a steal but I mean he isn't a franchise changing player.

[C-Green]

Gobert sucks.
How so?

He's changed their franchise. Without him they have sucked. With him they are competitive.

Loved Scurry! Eaton sucked though so I don't think to much of that stat.

damn everybody getting a check this offseason
