For you Mama | Ricky Rubio (Players Tribune)

Thought this was a good piece by our lovable former PG. I don't think I realized how tough of a stretch he went through in 2015-2016.

That is a pretty hard read, and I suspect it will be for most on here.

"I loved Minny. I still do. And that place, those people -- they will always be in my heart.
I mean that. Trust. Like KG said"

Lets bring him back. Swap teague for Ricky. Teague's an expiring, right? Swap Culver for Herro. Culver was drafted higher, they'd do it, right? I mean, we did't trade up and blow a lottery pick did we?

Teague on his expiring is > Rubio long term deal

Teague on the bargain/value contract he signs this summer >>>

Ricky > Teague and Ricky's salary this year is cheaper too.

Ricky > Teague and Ricky's salary this year is cheaper too.

But we have Teague's expiring contract AND Okogie. I'd say we're better off.

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

I'm not even sure I'm willing to say that Rubio's been better than Teague this year.

I would just say I enjoy watching Ricky play basketball more than Teague. If I had to pick one for one season I would probably I would take Ricky. I do think Teague and Ricky are both in that same tier of PG though. I also think both of them don't move the needle even remotely enough to where you want to be as a organization and having the chance to compete for a championship. Even though I like Ricky a lot that contact would be holding the wolves back.

Even though for the most part I believe Teague has been a slight disappointment as a wolf, I would still trade Ricky for that 1st 100 out of 100 times.

This pretty much sums up my feeling.

I'll add that if Napier is half price of either guy I would take him over both....and he might be even much cheaper than that idk.
