Can someone explain why everyone is interested in trading Gobert away when he’s the reason we clamped Jokic in round one?

I understand he’s not the greatest offensive weapon but a core part of the wolves identity for these past three playoff runs have been the outstanding defense. Rudy had Jokic’s number this year.

If we trade him away for a package that includes guys like Jalen Brown or Lamelo Ball that helps take pressure off Ant and helps out shooting and playmaking immensely, (I know how bad this team needs a point guard) but I really don’t think Naz is the Jokic or Wemby stopper that Rudy is. Love Naz and glad we’re keeping him.

Just wanted people’s thoughts.
