What could be better, ten minutes before the first match of the season, to learn that his contract is being extended for three years and a nice chunk of dollars? This is what has just happened to Rudy Gobert, since Shams Charania (ESPN) has just announced that the French pivot is giving up his 2025-26 player option for a deal of 110 million over 3 years.
3 more years guaranteed in the NBA, $110 million guaranteed in the pocket and a great collective gesture at the financial level by ensuring flexibility for the Wolves next year. Rudy Gobert is starting the season well, thinking of everyone and especially of winning with his team. The information comes from Shams Charania, not one bit excited by the new season which is beginning. Breaking? Come on, break.

Some details regarding this contract for the quadruple DPOY: we are therefore talking about a deal of 110 million over 3 years, which will begin next season. It contains a trade kicker, which indicates that Wolves will have to pay a bonus if Rudy is transferred during his contract. This new amount therefore erases the last year of the Gob’ current contract, which therefore renounces the 46.6 million dollars of its player option. Enough to give the Wolves a lot of room next year, perhaps to attract a big fish and finally bring a title to Minnesota in a year?
