He's had his share of dirty plays with the likes of LeBron, Belly, Wall & Rose, but as long as he can space the floor for the other guys, it's whatever I guess. I just want to make the damn playoffs

We need more guys with an edge. It's something this team has lacked for years.

The PG market is non-existent
wait him or other PGs out!
That's fine and dandy until you overplay your hand and are stuck with Derrick Rose.

That's fine if he's the last one standing
Teague, Collison, Rose, Rondo, etc.
none of them move the needle in anyway, so why pay them like they do?

I understand Jim Peterson's points and also agree with him. I guess I was hoping we would not lose $4 million in cap space to sign Teague. I'd rather spend $10 million in cap space on Lowry then $4 million on Teague.

Ok...
Too each their own, but the fact you are putting Teague with those others makes me think you never watch the guy. Like good lord.

Rubio is cheaper for only 2 years. In the summer of 2019 either you skyrocket over the tax for Towns, Butler and Rubio. More then likely you don't sign all 3 because of the cap.
It's not a Teague for Rubio swap, it's a Teague and 1st for Rubio swap. Which probably will end up being a rotation player on rookie contract with THREE max players on the roster. There's not going to be cap space to keep all the talent down the road without some solid rookie/near vet minimum player contracts in the rotation.

Dude stop. Teague is much better than all of those players.I would put Rubio and Teague in the same class and IMO, both are better than George Hill.

I agree with you, and it makes me wonder if it's more about years than dollars? Teague at 3 years for $60, or Lowry at 4 years for $100? Maybe between them, George Hill and Jrue, he was the only one who would take a three year deal?
Thibs refused to give four year deals out last year, and let some free agents walk to teams that would, but that may have just been circumstances.
