I am happy with paying those rates for that skillset and spending the money on players who can shoot and defend in space (and in collins' case at the rim too).
I agree.
Here's how we can bring this back to Gobert:
1) If WCS continues to play well, earning more and more minutes...
2) and IF Carlisle thinks the way Kamm does about playing two bigs together (not Powell types, but real, actual BIGS)..
...then I think we'll see some WCS/Porzingis lineups get a real shot at some point this season.
I don't anticipate that happens, personally, but I'll be looking for it.
I think they DO want to play two bigs, but that they want that 2nd one to be more of a Powell type. They now have three of them: Powell, Kleber and Johnson. I don't think that's an accident.
