I don't know if it is a sign, but right as the Gobert tweet dropped, the skies opened up here and it looks like the apocalypse outside right now.

4 firsts for gobert, KD worth at least 10 first round picks in that case

Minny just gave Utah more firsts for Gobert than the Lakers gave for AD. Woo boy.
— Ben Rosales (@brosales12) July 1, 2022
Basically 5 unprotected firsts for Gobert is insane.

That Gobert trade has the potential to be one of the worst trades in NBA history

Dejounte Murray went for four first rounders.
Rudy Gobert got traded for essentially five.
The CBA makes it difficult to exceed that, but the Nets need to insist on as much as possible for KD.
Teams with an excess of picks like New Orleans should be in the drivers seat.

League sources: For now, there are no plans by the Utah Jazz to trade star guard Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz are committed to building around him. The Jazz are not done in trade talks. Expect more activity
