EXTENSION: Gobert signs 5yr/$205M w/ UTA | DAL "significant interest" if available

I understand the cap ramifications regarding Gobert, but IMO he is different enough from KP - who needs the best backup among the starters - that the overlap is minimal. I also prefer having assets that can be traded rather than cap space on a timer.

Being different and fitting together are two different things. Ya their game is different but the Mavs aren't going to start 2 centers any more than they will start 3 or 4 or 5 centers. You need a guy that will be able to rotate out to the perimeter. This is why Powell was chosen as the 4/5 hybrid last year to start next to KP. I am not a huge fan of Powell and his triple single career average but I can understand the thinking at leasts. They want KP sitting in the paint on defense and blocking shots. If Gobert is on your team he is doing that and KP isn't. So it's never going to happen.

This thread is pure fantasy! Kamm is leading ya'll astray!
