Go GET Teague

I haven't had a chance to read thru the 15 pages, but I think I'd be for this trade. I'm so tired of having below average PG play. Especially when you consider that PG is the deepest position in the league right now.
Exum isn't gonna be 100% next year, and we need to show Favors and Hayward that we are capable of making a move.

But for real...I'm so tired of our PG play the past 5 years

The last 5 or so pages are Dal and NAOS arguing.

Same. Is Teague the future Chris Paul ? Of course not, but he is a solid PG, someone who will get the job done, who will get the ball to the right places on time. He is having a bit of a down year and his ankle deserves thorough examination, but he is worth a shot.

To those who say "we need to save our assets for a bigger shot" I ask what are the chances we get a shot at a big talented player ? Utah is not LA or NY or Miami, just like OKC or Minny, your best players are those you drafted, you have a hard time getting FAs and trades for a big star never really work out.

Teague might not change the world, but he isn't signed for long nor expensive and he does the job. If it works out well for him and the Jazz then he is a just turned 29 FA who could be enticed to stay for a long contract at a decently expensive clip. I don't remember exactly what the CBA allows, but say 4/5 years at 12/14M, it would in the context of the new CBA be a solid quality contract.
 
I'd still prefer to see us swing for the fences by trading Hayward for a top draft pick but if we intend on attempting to retain him, this is the type of trade we should make. I wouldn't include any 1st round picks to acquire Teague tho & I'm not sure Burks/Burke/2nds gets it done as I doubt ATL is looking to rebuild & imagine they would want immediate contributors back in any trade.

If that package does get it done however, you'd have to strongly consider it. The only problem I see with it is that it would likely only propel this team to a 6-8 seed this year & a 4-6 seed next year. I'm all for getting back to consistently making the playoffs, but imo this trade would be more about retaining Hayward (& competing for a championship with him down the road) than it would winning a championship with Teague, & personally I'm still not sold that we can win a title with Hayward taking up 1/3 of the team's cap space without a star alongside him (which this move will make it even more difficult to acquire as that type of player is likely only coming via the draft or trade).
 
For those saying that they wouldn't do this as a year and a half rental because we have Dante... Question, what if Dante isn't good?

Then if the depth at SG,SF,PF,C isn;t good enough to will the team to the playoffs, they'll be in the lottery in 2017.. again. Which isn't a bad place to be if you've gotta fill a long-term need.. They also have GSW's 1st in 2017 too. And there's especially an epic amount of talent at PG that year - De'Aaron Fox is a floor general, a defensive dynamo, he's an upper echelon athlete for an NBA PG, he's lightning quick in the open court.. 6'3"-6'4"ish, and he can shoot the 3.. He's a perfect match for this type of roster..

Why are you so stuck on what didn't transpire in the off season. You aren't really making a point. There was no one to be had that would have made that big of a difference.

says the dumb**** that repeatedly talks about past drafts. You're unbelievably dumb.
 
I would like to add wesley matthews to the group of players (carroll, danny green) that some wanted to get last offseason who we luckily didn't add.

He is playing 33 minutes per game and averaging 12.8 ppg on 39% shooting from the field, averaging 1.8 assists, and 3 rebounds and only gets to the line less than 2 times per game.

The cake baking was the right idea. The injuries screwed the cake up otherwise the cake would be really tasty.

The only exception would be that i would have liked to go get a point guard last summer (i was always down with this despite being a "cake baker" since i have been an exum hater) but i dont remember any non cake bakers suggesting any point guards. It was pretty much just go get carroll, green, or matthews and im glad that we didn't do that.
