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

[cow]

I'm a member of the Tyson Chandler fan club, which has the core belief that Mark should have CTC for Tyson in 2011. So, it's awful that you guys are pushing this conversation to this point. But...

Gobert is better than Tyson. 

And the Whiteside comparison is silly. Whiteside never came close to impacting the game like Gobert. No one ever for a second considered Whiteside even close to what Gobert is now. Forget this argument for a second about whether Gobert is a top 10 player and just consider the concensus NBA comunity opinion that Gobert is at least top 20. Whiteside was never close to that. 

I'm not even much of a Gobert fan. I don't want him on the floor with KP. But even if Kam is a bit off with his top 10 assessment, he's not off by much just based on NBA community concensus. Kam is way closer to reality than most of these arguments that are calling him crazy. 

The "Whiteside is a good comp" thing is crazy. Go take that argument to folks that know more than we do and see how far you get.

Better wouldn't negate the comparison though.  I just think they bring similar offensive/defense skillsets to their team.  Tyson really only has the advantage of being a better leader.
