So far: Acquired Jimmy Butler, traded Wicky Wubio for a first round pick 538 projects them as a 50 win team right now factoring in a replacement level point guard. Rumors: Exploring signing Jeff Teague (called heavy favorite) May also look into Kyle Lowry or George Hill
Lowry Wiggins Butler Dieng Towns On paper would be a stronger team than San Antonio. If Towns or Wiggins take a step that team would threaten GSW because they'd have no answer for Towns. He would murder Green. Starting to feel like the Rockets should just chase Ibaka who's value plummeted with the Raptors. Would give us a defender for Towns and Green. GSW Rockets/Wolves Spurs Jazz Grizz/Clippers/Blazers/Suns depending on Griffin.
Joking? Rondo is a terrible scorer, but he is Allen Iverson compared to Rubio. He is older and a less creative passer though, but I think that's a much better mix for any team. Teams were embarrassing the Wolves by leaving Rubio open intentionally, hurts the morale, and Rubio wasn't able to consistently beat that strategy.
I don't think he's that bad. Plus you would hopefully get him for cheap. Rondo shot 36 to 37% from 3's the last two years so that was respectable.
As they currently stand, I think this team is barely a 6 seed. Hill or Teague aren't putting them over the top. Only way I'd be worried about this team is if they manage to get Lowry AND Milsap.
If Teague has already agreed and doesn't even take any other meeting it means he got PAID. edit: first rumours say it's 3/60. Horrible deal if true imo.
