No - quickly consider the options
Looking at "worst teams"
List probably starts with those who were among the worst this year
So Houston (20-62), Orlando (22-60), Detroit (23-59), OKC (24-58), Indiana (25-57), Portland (27-55) and Sacramento (30-52).
Adding Gobert to any of those teams would put them well above the others from that same group (plus teams that might drop down like the Wizards or Knicks).
Plus, almost all of those teams are (by near-definition) rebuilding, so wouldn't give up an unprotected 1st for a one-dimensional, extremely expensive center on the wrong side of 30. Gobert doesn't make sense for any of them. Best hope would be Portland (desperate to extend Dame's window) or Sacramento (because Sacramento does dumb things), but those are also two of the better teams from that group

If the Jazz wanted next year's #1 pick (so they could draft Victor Wenbanyama), but had to trade Gobert to get it,

The thing people miss about trading Rudy & Donovan is that you’re also likely getting back a top 5 (or top 3) draft pick
