As a Wolves fan Ill just say its hilarious how many people call Gobert trash while bigging up Ant. The best element of the Wolvesthe last two years has been their defense and Rudy is the anchor, voice, tone setter and leader on that end. They dont make the playoffs 2 years ago without him, they dont beat Denver last year without him. The coaches who spend the time game planning are the ones making him DPOY but people who only see Rudy in game highlights call him trash. Dude is a legitimately great defender and a useful offensive player but bad with the ball in his hands. He’s anchored numerous top 5 defenses even with trash defensive teammates. Even this year the Wolves were by far the best D in the league despite starting a 38 yr old 6ft pg, KAT who has been a notoriously mediocre defender and then two wings who, while wildly talented, were 22 and 23 years old. Anyone who can see all that and then call the man trash is just being willfully ignorant. Rudy ain't perfect but I've watched him for 82 games and he's absolutely worthy of DPOY and the accolades he's received.

Yes they have, the money is just bigger now. 10 years ago Rudy just would’ve gotten 90 million instead of 250 because there was less money to go around

There has never been a time where only the best players got the biggest contracts
People act like folks weren’t calling Jaylen Brown overpaid last year because he “had no left”. Every player is overpaid based on whether they like the player or not.

Ben Simmons is the worst player ever

At least Rudy brings value on defense


Ben Simmons is a the weakest sawfest dude to ever play in that league..

It's really unprecedented how sawf he is.

hell, Jaylen's first extension for 4/115 from like half a decade ago was seen as a massive overpay.

Jordan Poole's contract is more than any contract shaq has ever signed. it is what it is.
