Rudy Gobert is only getting older, and the Minnesota Timberwolves don’t have a replacement on the roster just yet. Tim Bontemps and Kevin Pelton of ESPN recently wrote about the Wolves’ tricky situation:
“Minnesota, meanwhile, is one of the trickier teams to classify. Franchise player Anthony Edwards will spend another season on our top 25 players under 25 list, which doesn't exactly scream "win now." But the Wolves have traded most of their draft capital to keep this team together, are butting up against the salary cap's second apron and must figure out eventual replacements for both Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert, whose arrivals have helped lift Minnesota to back-to-back appearances in the Western Conference finals.
