The Utah Jazz could end up on the F.B.I.’s most wanted list for being master criminals. The draft day trade that pried Rudy Gobert away from the Denver Nuggets (for the draft rights to Erick Green and cash) was, basically, a heist. It was like Oceans 11, but the biggest star wasn’t an actor - but the prize itself. Flash forward to Gobert’s fourth year in the league and he’s about to make history. I’ll get to that part at the end of this article, but it’s a big huge deal.
