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

[khaled1987]

I am going to say this, I am highly interested in Gobert and want him here. 
But unlike Giannis, there is a price I am not willing to go for, and it is our backcourt depth. 

When we discussed Giannis idea , there were people discussing how we keep JRich if we get Giannis and this was laughable to me to some extent . Because if we got Giannis I don't give a damn whether JRich stays or leave. The talent in this team is just enough to win with any back court partner to Luka, never mind it will attract ring chasers who could replace him. 

This isn't the case with Gobert, if we have him then I still care about the depth of of our back court. I want one of THJ or JRich staying or I am out. 

I can take a trio of Maxi/Gobert/KP taking almost all minutes available for PF/C spot (Powell is honestly expendable if Gobert comes) 
-DFS will be a lock for starting SF and I am fine with it. (assuming no trade this season)
Luka is our starting PG
JRich/THJ at SG (assuming Green doesn't end the season on a very high note, making the other 2 expandable) 

In other words, if it is a sort of a trade of Powell/Johnson/THJ for Gobert, then I am ok with it.
