What if the Jazz had kept Gobert, Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and the rest of the gang and tried to make it work?
Is the success that the Timberwolves are experiencing what the Jazz could be having right now, rather than watching the playoffs happen without them?
No, because it’s not just Gobert and Conley. The success that Minnesota is having is due to the sum of its parts.
As good as the Jazz were during the Mitchell and Gobert era, and even when they had their most successful postseason runs (that ended in the second round at best), they didn’t have the kind of talent or supporting cast that the Timberwolves have.
They didn’t have someone like Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels.
