Stupid to think we could get Gobert from Utah... yes
But stupid from a Basketball standpoint - NOT EVEN!
Gobert is different than WCS. WCS is nimbler than he looks, he even said himself he thinks of himself as a SF that's playing as a big because that's what he's asked to do.
WCS like Maxi and Powell can rotate to the perimeter. I expect KP to be guarding the paint with Willie helping on the weak side.
WCS + KP to me does not mean Rick is moving KP to PF to play alongside a traditional center. To me what it indicates is that the Mavs don't really have a traditional center outside of Boban. WCS, Maxi, Powell and KP are all hybrid PF/C's, at least defensively. I still believe Rick wants KP to play that center spot so to me it just shows that our bigs are versatile.
