Former NBA star Dwight Howard roasted the Minnesota Timberwolves for their decision to give Rudy Gobert a massive three-year, $110 million contract extension earlier this week.
Gobert, who has played well in Minnesota over the last couple seasons since arriving from the Utah Jazz, will be relied upon even more heavily this season after the franchise traded away Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason in a package to acquire veterans Julius Randle and Donta DiVincenzo. The new contract certainly is a bet on Gobert's play in an expanded role in the frontcourt.
