While a trade was expected, one to Minnesota is undoubtedly a big shocker.Gobert has been a significant part of the Jazz, helping them protect their basket and clean the glass. However, his offensive contributions have been criticized.Twitter has been buzzing ever since ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the deal. Fans had different views, with many shocked more than anything else.virgo.@1fuckvirgo@wojespn what the fuck ?3@wojespn what the fuck ?Keith Smith@KeithSmithNBAI don't know if it is a sign, but right as the Gobert tweet dropped, the skies opened up here and it looks like the apocalypse outside right now.26517I don't know if it is a sign, but right as the Gobert tweet dropped, the skies opened up here and it looks like the apocalypse outside right now.Will@WilliamRichJr@wojespn LET THE CHAOS ENSUE2@wojespn LET THE CHAOS ENSUE https://t.co/QDhYxeD9NVJacob@jacob_gramegna@wojespn He is him67@wojespn He is him https://t.co/xmeQpM5L0bBlake Harris@BlakeHarrisTBLA@wojespn Now we know what Utah is up to3182@wojespn Now we know what Utah is up toHoop Central@TheHoopCentralKarl-Anthony TownsAnthony EdwardsRudy GobertD'Angelo Russell+ moreMinnesota is for real. 5708328Karl-Anthony TownsAnthony EdwardsRudy GobertD'Angelo Russell+ moreMinnesota is for real. 🔥🐺Chris Milholen@CMilholenSBIf Gobert is worth five firsts, imagine what the Nets can command for Durant, if they go that route. twitter.com/wojespn/status…Adrian Wojnarowski@wojespnThe Jazz are landing four Minnesota first-round picks and 2022 first-round pick Walker Kessler in the deal for Rudy Gobert, source tells ESPN.549The Jazz are landing four Minnesota first-round picks and 2022 first-round pick Walker Kessler in the deal for Rudy Gobert, source tells ESPN.If Gobert is worth five firsts, imagine what the Nets can command for Durant, if they go that route. twitter.com/wojespn/status…Eddie Joseph@lakid213@wojespn What is going on in Utah?!?2474130@wojespn What is going on in Utah?!? https://t.co/X04ZMl3fpjTyler Conway@jtylerconwayyou remember how you’d used to have to quit your 2K franchise 5 years in because a bunch of players changed teams and all the rosters stopped making sense?that’s just…the actual NBA now25you remember how you’d used to have to quit your 2K franchise 5 years in because a bunch of players changed teams and all the rosters stopped making sense?that’s just…the actual NBA nowSam Planto@Splanto@wojespn I guess we figured out what was happening in Utah. twitter.com/letitflytom/st…TOM MARTIN@LetItFlyTomI set the Windhorst clip to "Mountains" by Hans Zimmer, please enjoy while it lasts32810I set the Windhorst clip to "Mountains" by Hans Zimmer, please enjoy while it lasts https://t.co/hmlkuhYoDz@wojespn I guess we figured out what was happening in Utah. twitter.com/letitflytom/st…George🇬🇷@g_martin21Four firsts for GOBERT?

Patrick Beverly is on the receiving end this time after his dramatic celebration last season.The All-Defensive player jumped on the scorers' table and threw his jersey into the crowd after the Timberwolves sealed a spot in the 2022 playoffs. The guard got emotional and cried after they defeated the LA Clippers to clinch the seventh seed in the West.But he was included in the package that brought Gobert to Minnesota. Although Pat Bev was credited for the TWolves' change in mentality, he was expendable in the end.Tyler Conway@jtylerconwayPat Bev’s gotta retire from tweeting 177Pat Bev’s gotta retire from tweeting 😂😂😂 https://t.co/iQOawruNkIMarkelle 🇭🇹@IcyLindorSznnPat Bev did all this just to get traded for Rudy Gobert 2247469Pat Bev did all this just to get traded for Rudy Gobert 😭😭 https://t.co/oBTL3BhXfMPlayers have also reacted to the news. Kyle Kuzma believes the Jazz are looking to rebuild, while Larry Nance Jr. is surprised the T'Wolves gave up five players and four picks for Gobert.Thad Young@yungsmoove21Well damn Rudy.... 4236Well damn Rudy.... 😳Larry Nance Jr@Larrydn225 players and 4 picks…. 🤯595415 players and 4 picks…. 🤯kuz@kylekuzmaUtah rebuild8538319Utah rebuildCan the Minnesota Timberwolves make a deep run in the 2023 playoffs with Rudy Gobert?Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves drives against Rudy Gobert.The trade for Rudy Gobert is meant to improve the Timberwolves' chances of making a deep run in the playoffs. Although the Jazz have failed to make it past the conference semifinals in their nine seasons with Gobert, his experience will help. Coupled with that, the T'Wolves will be looking to take advantage of his elite shot-blocking ability.Pairing Gobert and KAT will provide an extra layer of protection in the lane. It is safe to assume there will be no easy bucket against the Wolves with both players on the floor.Since the 2003-04 season, Minnesota has only made the playoffs twice and has not gone past the first round. While a championship might still be far-fetched, their ceiling could be a Western Conference final appearance.
