Gobert Trade

All the smart NBA people were against, but I always kinda liked it. Why? How about when you've got a young star on your team (Edwards), surround him with the best basketball players you can? In case you haven't noticed, there are only 5 guys on a court at a time. When you've got a guy (or two) that leaves 3-4 slots. What good do all the top draft picks give you in this circumstance?
