For them to improve on their weakness as the season progresses: 1st 5 games (October) of his NBA career - 1-18 from 3 for 5.5%12 games in November: 12-43 for 27.9%Last 5 games (December) : 11-28 from 3 for 39.3% How do you not appreciate that? The December shooting is a bit skewed because most of it was in that one game against Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, so when he has awful games, is that not skewed either? Like I said, some of you need to think before you speak. Right now we are seeing him get closer to his college percentages from 3 and his estimated pro percentages is very high and not too far from what Klay was projected to have. Give him time. As I said early in the season, he will go to his expected norm in time. His offensive metrics went up a full point this month. Sadly, his defensive metrics went down .7 points after yesterday's game where Cam got abused on the screens. By far his worse defensive game this season along with LAC. 44 FG% and 39% from three and an over 50 TS is positive. The negative is his defense v. Chicago and his free throw shooting this month (58.3). Edited December 12, 2019 by NBASupes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still ball too, has 32 and 6 on 11-16 tonight. He'd be a nice addition but Minny is trying to make the playoffs. They won't trade him for nothing.

Teague is still essentially their #1 PG despite coming off the bench. He is averaging 30 mins a game 14ppg and 7apg for an 18.1PER. Now compare that to what Crabbe offers. Like I said, Minny is trying to make the playoffs and if they get rid of Teague they will be looking for something that makes them better not worse. Now, if Minny starts dropping like a stone in the standings then maybe they will be looking to get whatever they can get for a Teague rental, though in that specific context it will still be tough to get Teague on a fair value deal as Minny would have no real incentive to take on any bad contracts or scrub players for Teague since the cap relief they will get by retaining Teague is pretty valuable in and of itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. Lu*a/Brunson works because Brunson wasn't supposed to be more than a roleplayer. Cole/Lamelo will arrive in the league with expectations ran exceeding what Brunson is saddled with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Even if we have Trae, if we got the #3 pick and LaMelo is there, take him. BPA is all that matters. Someone else might trade us a star for Ball 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll demand double teams and no way in hell any team will double team Trae to leave that beast going 4 on 3 with space in the half court. He also has great defensive ability. ATL kid going to the Hawks. Story writes itself. He'll rep ATL so hard. Edited December 12, 2019 by marco102 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I haven’t seen too much of Ball? Why is he so good? Is he involved with his dad on the biz side? can’t have that. Ant man all the way. Wise works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
