NBA 'all-in' tiers: Which teams are going all-in on immediate success and which are looking to the future?

When the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off a blockbuster trade to land Rudy Gobert from the Utah Jazz, the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year wasted no time declaring his intentions for his new franchise.

"I came to take this team to the Finals," Gobert said during his introductory news conference in July.

As Timberwolves coach Chris Finch added, "It's the perfect fit at the perfect time."

In other words, the Timberwolves have gone all-in.

So, what does it mean to be "all-in" in today's NBA? And is there more than one definition?
