Social media saying the 10-for-1 Jazz/TWolves trade for Rudy Gobert is the worst trade in NBA history.

I'd like to disagree and revisit our good 'ol heist 10 years ago with the Brooklyn Nets. Paul Pierce, KG for three first-round picks that became Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Pretty sure this one is still better  ;)

Ironically, that Jazz/Wolves trade involved Danny Ainge, again, with a highway robbery over the Wolves. Man Trader Danny making himself a name

The Nets got two HOFers to add to their core of Joe Johnson, Derron Williams, Brook Lopez. That wasn’t as bad as the Gobert trade.

Neither is worse than the Bill Russell trade, or the #1 for McHale/Parish deal.

But seriously, how is Danny not in the HOF as a contributor?  Player / broadcaster / coach / executive?

Amazing what a team fight can do for morale.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Boy, we couldn't get that lucky to have both Atlanta and Minny win, could we?

Lakers have a potential path to playoff success if they get the 7 seed, but I just don't see it with them at 8th. And I would love to see either the Lakers flame out against Denver, or have the overrated Denver/Jokic team get bounced by an 8 seed. That's a win/win scenario!

Helluva run by the T-Wolves there ending the half & stunting that Lakers run.

Yeah I thought LAL was about to take over but that was a gutsy 16-6 run to end the half by MIN. We’ll see if the Wolves can hold on and win, but this has been an impressive effort from both Atlanta and Minnesota tonight (two teams seemingly counted out by everyone beforehand). Fun start to what should be a fun playoffs

What were the Timberwolves thinking when they traded for Gobert?

Can they find anyone to take that contract now?

I hope so but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks the league office is talking to the game officials right now.
