The Boston Celtics have explored a potential trade for Rudy Gobert, the Minnesota Timberwolves center.
According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Minnesota’s interest in Derrick White could create a possible salary-matching path for a larger deal. Boston had already inquired about Gobert before, most recently at the February trade deadline.
The Timberwolves are not actively shopping the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, but both Minnesota and Boston are reportedly open-minded about possible roster changes around their franchise cornerstones.
Gobert, 33, is entering the second season of a three-year, $109 million contract, with a player option in the final year. In 2025-26, he averaged 10.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks in 76 games while shooting 68.2% from the field.
For Boston, adding Gobert would bring rim protection, rebounding and playoff experience. The key question would be the cost, with White viewed as one of the Celtics’ most reliable two-way players.
