This is terrible logic. A lot of these teams left had great rebounding inside. Biyombo, Val, Tristan, adams. We would be effectively solving our size issue.

It would also free us up to have options like not resigning horford or aggressively pursuing wings in free agency. I mean it ain't like Teague is netting us jimmy butler, his value is going down every day with only a year left on his deal. This would be a phenomenal move
Noel rebounding ain't all that but his natural defensive ability is literally top 5. You put him with Bud and Horford and you got DPOY Leonard shyt

@AAKing23 being a dumbass again.

Teague got his full bird and you can extend him on this year's salary cap. Top 10 PG's aren't being traded and the chance to get one like Teague is hard to get.

I love Noel as player. With our staff he could be even better. If we get Noel and resign horford...I would be tempted to see what wing we could possibly trade for by putting Millsap on the trading block.

Millsap been on the block. I told yall most of the team was on the block on the squawk.


Denver been huge on trying to trade for him. Atlanta wants a lot from my guy. He didn't say what tho.

It's a bad trade. Hawks need a wing scorer, neither team in the Finals or in the Conference Finals was there b/c of post play. How do you trade an All Star caliber PG for a rotational big? Bud and his do boy Wes Wilcox are on some bullshyt if this happens.
:whoa:

Don't you think Teague has reached his peak as a Hawk, though? I feel like the Hawks have pretty much gotten all that they will get out of him....if you can trade him for a younger player who also fills a major need, then I think you got to do that. A front court of Noel/Horford/Sap is dynamite and would really allow Sap to open up his game. Recall how many blocks just those two (Sap/Al) had in the playoffs this year, then add Noel to that mix. I disagree with your assessment of him as a "rotational" guy, though, the kid has started 133 of the 142 total NBA games he's ever played.

EDIT: even if you get rid of Sap or Horford, Noel still makes sense. But IMO, it makes the MOST sense to have all three.

Sidenote: I've watched Noel mature as a player pretty closely, and he's just really getting started to showcase what he can do at the pro level. I think that in a system like Bud's, he would actually mature as a player. Remember, for his entire career all he's ever known is a losing culture. He could potentially turn into an entirely different player. And he's still mad young. (I wouldn't say I "know him", but he'd recognize my face and say "whattup " when I'd see him in Center City. I worked at Two Liberty and almost all the Sixers players live there. Used to see the homie Thad Young all the time, too, before him and his wiz moved out on Conshohocken. Thad is mad cool, one of the coolest NBA players there is. Iggy used to live there, too...hell, Cole Hamels had the entire penthouse top floor before he got married and had a kid and moved out. That jawn was laid, too... :wow: ).

If Colangelo is giving away assets like this, the Suns need to offer Brandon Knight and get back that Lakers pick.

Naw, Teague still getting better. Especially when he got healthy. He was giving you 20/8 per36 and he actually can run an offense and control the flow of the game. Teague is one of the most underrated players.

Naw, like a lot a lot.

I would personally Gallinari, Nurkic and their #7, 15, and their 19 for the starters. Then move from there. Gallinari and the #7 is a must.

Top 10?

Kyrie
Lowry
Lillard
Westbrook
Curry
Wall
Thomas
Walker
Paul
Jackson


He's fringe at best with Conley & Dragic, and Dunn has a chance to be better than him within 2-3 years.


They may as well just throw the max at Conley if they want a PG like Teague.
