Suns and Hornets sign similar talented PGs to Teague for about the same average pay.

Just heard on Radio, guy couldn't believe Bucks let a 50/40/90 Brogdon slip out. Indy knows shooting is important.

I didn't realize that Brogdon did that. He signed five years $85 million. Milwaukee got multiple FRPs in the sign and trade. If I were Milwaukee I think I would have done the same. I think they have cap difficulties.


On radio they said only one of the players that has done that has not made it to HOF and most that have are elites of the HOF.

Push comes to shove maybe a protected 1st

A SRP is all the Nets would get and that's found money for them. Who we have to pay is whoever frees cap space for us.

We’ll find a third team to dump our contracts. Thanks

Before you call Brogdon a HOFer let's see if he can keep that up for a few years. He did that just one of his three years. Still a very nice player.

Wiggins KILLS the Thunder. :lol:
However, nice to see him go if it doesn't cost us too much. If we are giving away Culver or Covington I will cry just a little. If it's a future first or Okogie I'm just fine.

I can’t see Dallas taking Wiggins into pure cap space without a huge price. Plus, the tweet doesn’t mention the Nets. Makes me think, if this is true, it’s a separate deal than for Russell.

Rosas better has his ducks in a row before sitting down with Russell. I have to believe he had a deal locked in, so the minute Russell agreed, we could finalize a deal to give us space.

My crazy, off the wall, dream scenario. Rosas finds a way to off load Wiggs, Teague and Dieng. Get D'Lo and as a surprise twist...Minnesota ends up being the mystery team Horford has been targeting. In an effort to join his fellow DR National Teammate, KAT. Providing the mentorship he gave KAT back in the day.

D'Lo
Culver
Roco
Horford
KAT

Exactly. You don't meet him unless you have the deal to acquire him in your pocket. That would be a good way to get a very bad rep.

Taking into account rubios new contract i would rank teague ahead of him. I would not want either of them locked up for More than 2 seasons.

Problem is those are two of the teams we could have traded Teague to.

Yup. List is shrinking fast of teams that might want a PG and also have 20m+ in cap space. Knicks? But they’ll want a decent price even for a year of Teague.
