Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 21, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Proposed something similar last season with Marvin, and got good feedback, and figured I'd try again but with a different player. Same rules apply as before. What I'm interested in seeing is, after picking up the phone and calling a GM, what attributes would YOU use to give the impression you're doing them the favor by trading them Jeff Teague. This exercise presumes that a few of us would desire to part ways with Jeff and, through trading either him or (more likely, IMO) another player/draft pick, acquire a PG with a greater combination of seasoning, confidence, and/or upside. This also presumes that Bibby is perceived by this team as more of a keeper over the life of his contract than Teague. For this thread, I don't care about who the team is, how he's "packaged," or what we think the Hawks would want for him (i.e., NO actual trade proposals!). Just what selling points you would use (if you were Sund) to convince me (a fellow NBA GM) that Jeff Teague would be a worthy addition to my NBA team. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithSentinel Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sell you Teague? Alright I'll take $5 for him. Just get him out of our sight. In all honesty I can't sell Teague to my ownself. The kid just doesn't have IT. So many damn good PGs recently and we are still stuck with what we got. About the only positive Teague has shown is he a pretty good defensive PG. If we wanted a defensive PG then we will bring Ivey back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who agree with that, it's a start... ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Has a lot of ability, but very raw at PG. Still learning the position on a winning team which can be hard since winning teams have less time to develop players than bad or very young teams. For his price or looking at the market, he is a keeper for us. PG needs to be a position we make a move at if nothing game-changing is done. Otherwise, it's an issue but what can we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'll try: "If you need youth and speed in your backcourt but don't want to get too sloppy with turnovers, here's your guy..." "He gets into the paint with ease, and while he's learning how to finish, he's one of the best young free throw shooters in the league." "Tenacious man defender against opposing PGs, with plenty of room to improve his overall defensive effectiveness with better positioning and awareness." "You can give him time to groom himself for a starting spot, and if it doesn't work out, next year you've got yourself an expiring contract." ~lw3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 He dunked really hard on Lamar Odom one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 "he has tremendous physical tools but has struggled to display them consistently on this veteran team fighting for contention. He would be better served playing on your already established team where you can survive nights where he doesn't perform to his potential but reap the many benefits from nights where he does a la Shannon Brown or he would look great on your rebuilding team because he is the MVP of non-pressure packed minutes." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
