Why would ATL even consider trading Teague? make zero sense to me. The trade talks around Teague must be BS reporting

Teague is having a really bad year. Check out that 3P% and WS%. Those and other numbers are brutal relative to what he's being paid.

Really bad year?? the man had All Star considerations and has kept his team in playoff contentions in spite of Horford's injury..

What the heck is WS% anyway?.

Yes, a really bad year. His shooting percentages are terrible.

As for WS%, check it out yourself: http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... uje01.html

League average is .100, and that's exactly where Teague is for his career. This year he's significantly below it at .075.

When Toronto played Atlanta last, Schroder looked better. I was expecting much more from Teague.

That said, If KL is leaving, I'd take Teague on the team and hope for more from him.

Nothing makes you appreciate the West more than the East. One day someone’s going to be on Wikipedia and say, “Wait, DeMar DeRozan made an All-Star Game?” Then they’ll remember this year, and this conference, and the era of sadness that came with it.

How to prove that East is insanely weak this year? Throw in a player from the Raptors. Seriously, couldn't Sharp write something about Joe Johnson instead?

Typical arrogant American attitude. Easier to slag the Canadian team's player than do 5 minutes of googling to see how the other players on EC all-star team are doing.

David Kahn is working with a group of investors on purchasing a stake in the Milwaukee Bucks.

Kahn is the former general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Bucks' future in Milwaukee is uncertain due to their need for a new arena.

Not like their franchise can get any worse, might as well bring in the almighty Kahn
