Because Teague was incapable of running our fast paced offense and refused to shoot wide open 3's.

Teague was the best we had at it.

There are things that Teague does better than Napier, but running the offense the way coach Saunders wants isn't one of them.

I think he did everything better than Napier. Just my opinion though.

The Wolves really need to upgrade their playmaking.

Have heard a few times Wolves wanted Crabbe's Bird Rights since they will likely be capped out

...Crabbe won't get more than a min offer though, right?? $3mil feels way too much even.

He's been bad, but that's what local media believes was main factor of trade

But even if its $3 mil (or anything more than min), Wolves wouldn't have to cut into exceptions to re-sign having Bird

coaching staff is familiar with him, so must feel like he can be multi-year guy

It is feeling impossible for this team to win a game. No matter what everything just seems to go right for the opposing team. Their nobody players hit big shots, their guards grab 15 boards, if their stra struggles someone else steps up huge. It's so crappy to watch.

Never saw a team so consistently horrible at shooting at home. When will this franchise put a premium on shooters as players, shooting practice, shooting mentors, shooting coaches? At the same time, it seems like this stadium is the home for all opponents to shoot there best here.

Wolves are as clear example as there is of: only go as far as guards or play-making wings can take the team

Wolves were bottom 8 in league in that respect coming into season

Yeah, there's fun names but the talent isn't there in the positions that matter most in the ways it matters most.

Our guard play is horrible. Guards game and we don't have any that can play at a high level.
