While that’s not a valid dismissal of the many things he gives you, maxing him out certainly does present a unique team-building problem for anyone trying to build around him in a salary cap system.
I respect this position very much.
Gobert needs a half way decent pick and roll partner to have his elite offensive impact. But if he doesn't have that he loses his effectiveness. I get the concern. I don't think having an opinion that Gobert is not worth $40M is invalid. The same way I don't think my opinion that he is worth that is invalid.
We can both have valid opinions and still not agree.
