Whatever you were doing around 9 p.m. yesterday, you’ll probably remember where you were. For my part, I was quietly getting beaten up in the bowling alley by a woman named Sandra while her boyfriend was teasing me regarding the next French fry festival in Sullignat, but let’s move on, the main thing is elsewhere.
It’s been official for just over 24 hours so Rudy Gobert is now a Wolves player and will share the Minnesota racket with Karl-Anthony Towns. This is the sentence you say. After the on-the-spot reactions comes the time for a little more in-depth analysis, a little more posed. Did the Wolves do well to sacrifice their next six years in the Draft and three similar starters to recover the Gobe? Did they automatically become contenders? Is Rudy a winner in this story? Will Jazz implode to start once more? That raises questions, huh, and we have even more to ask ourselves, to ask you, because the subject is likely to crystallize a few debates at the counter in the coming months… so we’re taking things in order and we’re starting by ask these few essential questions over a cup of coffee.
The subjects are not lacking in this period of Free Agency so we settle down quietly, we open our ears and our chakras and we enjoy. Come on, coffee, cheers.
