Teammates for five years, Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell will only meet twice a year. So decided Danny Ainge who decided to explode their duo. The first joined the Wolves, while the second will take the direction of the East Coast, and more precisely Cleveland.
While their relationship had deteriorated over the months, the pivot of the French team wishes only the best to his former teammate.
“I think he has a bright future,” replied Rudy Gobert at Eurohoops. “He is one of the best young people in his position. He will continue to improve. I think it’s a great opportunity for him to just come into a new system, a new team and be able to show what he can do. “
Asked about Danny Ainge’s strategy, Rudy Gobert finds nothing wrong with it. It’s part of the life of a franchise to rebuild.
” That’s what Danny Ainge decided to do and sometimes you have to explore all the options. That’s what they did. Time will tell if it was good or not. I think he definitely did a great job getting as many items as possible.“
This summer, Danny Ainge thus recovered 9 players and 7 first draft rounds in exchanges linked to the departures of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell!
