I'd still rather have him than Teague. I also have no problem with letting any of those guys you mentioned go. Brooks was in the KG/Pierce trade, Terrence Williams was alright at best but didn't really make me think much of him (he was also instantly forgotten when Maria Sharapova attended Nets games and the pick we got for him was Brooks), and Antoine Wright was a 3-point shooter out of college who couldn't shoot 3-pointers.

Well Antoine Wright could defend well, if I remember correctly. That's useful. Didn't he stick around the league for a while?

Let me preface what I'm about to say by saying Teague sucks and we lost that trade because we gave up cash and Teague has another year on his contract.

With that being said I agree with Prok on Toko. Said it on here and the GB that he's frankly not very good and predicted he would be back in Europe at the end of the year once his contract ended. He is athletic, has a good motor and can finish well at the rim. Those are his 3 strengths but you need more than that. He can't drive without turning it over so the fact that he can finish well at the rim is greatly diminished. His jump shot is broken. He's not a good defender who is a foul machine. Needs a lot of work on his game

Toko is a good, raw talent but he showed zero improvement and actually regressed this season, after showing glimpses of talent last season. I guess the off season injury didn't help but I was disappointed by what I saw in summer league and preseason. I think it's best for him to go back to Europe, develop his game there, and come back to NBA. He has a great attitude by all accounts so I wish him all the best and hope he can have a career in the NBA.
