not thrilled with dumping him for lottery protected 1st
Teague is a downgrade IMO. At a higher cost.
And more costly, and older.Not sure on that but I'm not sure he's an upgrade either. Rubio is better defender, facilitator, and teague is better at scoring
I think the Rubio trade had a lot to do with him simply never really panning out to what was originally expected when they drafted him. Though he had a lot of good qualities, he never lived up to the general hype. I think they got frustrated with it and decided to move on.
That said, I think they could have done better than they did in trading him. They would be absolute fools to include Wiggins in a trade for Kyrie Irving. I'd like to add Irving as much as anyone, but Towns, Wiggins and Butler should all be completely off the table in basically any trades at this point. They need to stick with the plan to build the team around Towns and Wiggins moving forward. To get rid of Wiggins now would be blowing up that entire concept that still has a lot of potential left.
