Wow, lower than expected? WOLVES GONNA COMPETE
Nah, Teague is a terrible signing. Teague is just another smaller version of Butler/Wiggins on offense and is terrible defensively. I mean they tried this (meshing Teague with ball dominant guards/wings who aren't great 3 pt shooters) in Indy last year and it failed miserably.
If you think Teague is an upgrade from Rubio, ESPECIALLY for this team, it just shows a misunderstanding of how basketball and team construction works. I think this is a major misstep from Minnesota.

IMO truth was, teams just weren't offering much. He's probably 90%+ going to LAL next year and teams know it.
Yup. Indy pretty much couldn't do anything. Only other option wud be to wait til trade deadline and hope someone or LA panicked. But if teams were hesitant about giving anything up now bc they thought George was going to LA why the hell would they give anything up for even less time with him?
