Alright, Wolves fans, let’s talk about the big man in the room – and no, I’m not talking about Anthony Edwards’ rapidly rising profile. I’m talking about Rudy Gobert, who just quietly made one of the most impactful moves of the offseason by signing a three-year extension with the Timberwolves. This deal didn’t exactly steal the spotlight on opening night, with the team’s game against LeBron and the Lakers taking center stage, but make no mistake: this extension has massive implications for Minnesota’s future.

To put it bluntly, Gobert could’ve played out his $46.6 million salary next season, cashed in on a new long-term deal, and set himself up to rake in an additional $100 million+ over the next few years.
