The Timberwolves are adding the NBA’s best defensive center to pair with stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. After a few days of rumors of a move, the Jazz are sending Rudy Gobert to Minnesota, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
In return, Utah will receive Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro, 2022 draftee Walker Kessler and multiple first round picks, Wojnarowski says. Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports that the Jazz will received three unprotected first rounders (2023, ’25, ’27), a top five protected pick in ’29, and a pick swap in ’26.
