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

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

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.
