I honestly think the Wolves would be a better team if their PG minutes were split evenly between Rose and Jones. I'd be calling Phoenix and seeing if they have interest in Teague.

Rose said that he wants to be the 6th man of the year.
He needs to change his goal for the season and want a better award

Would be great to see this go on all season long. But even in the post interview he said he's not going to be able to take 30 shots a game. "We were missing 3 guys, I mean two guys, and my teammates just gave me the confidence to go play"

I don't even want to post in this thread anymore. I think Rose answered every doubt spoken about him just fine. But I hope we get to keep singing his praises.

What for Anderson or Ariza? They're not going to trade any of their young cheaper guys for Teague.

I think you could do Chandler and Troy Daniels for Teague. Both expirings, not sure how Phoenix feels about adding salary like that. Not sure how the Wolves would feel either, really.

I say I think because the trade machine rejects it. Apparently we're taking on an extra 14mil in salary...even though Teague makes about 3mil more than both those guys combined.

Saw this on the Bulls board:
...this was his first summer since 2011 that he did not have to do some type of rehab.

Thank you guys for taking care of him.

Being from Chicago, there was so much pressure put on him by our media and our fanbase.

Dont know why you said that but he really punished Gobert and Favors of switches all night long. Both of them give him a lot of space due his quick first step and he was making shots. Defend PG is team based since they can get switches at will.

I dont think what he did is sustainable but I know I like his game more than Teague.

I don't think Rose is a better player than Teague at this point, but I do think his style of play fits much better with how the Wolves should be playing going forward. Teague rarely pushes the ball and ends up dribbling away the shot clock way too often. Rose speeds up the game and is far more aggressive providing needed energy and pace. Neither are particularly good defenders, so there isn't any real edge on that end of the court.

Once Butler is gone it would make a lot of sense to speed up the tempo and push the ball since that would play to the strengths of Wiggins, Okogie, and even Towns. With that in mind looking to move Teague would be a good idea.

Until I saw the post match posts and tweets from players, I didn't really know that Rose was loved/respected so much among NBA players...Also not just NBA players, I have also seen some soccer players tweet about Rose yesterday. Greizmann seems to be a big Rose fanboy...he even randomly said he loves DRose a lot immediately after France won world cup in an interview
