Sure, all else being equal, but the Wolves’ bench is also pretty dire. Even if Thibs overpaid Taj Gibson, getting to play him instead of Nemanja Bjelica or, god forbid, Adreian Payne is worth way more than the difference between Teague and Lowry (See the recent Clips and Wizards teams for the fate of killer starting…

borderline All-NBA

I can’t understand what they expected to gain from that. They were always going to give him a max anyway, right?

Teague’s getting paid barely more than half what Lowry is (57M/3 vs 100M/3), though. I may be drastically overrating Teague, but I feel pretty confident he’s at least 70% the point guard Lowry is.

That sentence is trying to express something dumb, but by god is doing it badly.

“Worst administrator in Waco history” is a hell of a title.

Don’t let that woman hold it, you pervert!

The federal government was geographically close to the solution twentyish years ago.

Surely owners, because it’s a way to spend more money than the cap allows.

Scrappy?

I wish they’d gotten Hill or paid less for Teague, but I’m OK with this. He’s all-around capable, he’s not a constant injury risk, he’s not commanding a gigantic salary, and he’s not Rajon Rondo.

Fred?

They have quite literally thrown you to the Wolves.

I may or may not have been watching the Bulls all year waiting for Mirotic to be good, so, yeah.

Oh, hey, remember that Gibson+McDermott trade? When they threw in a draft pick to convince OKC to accept one excellent and one decent roleplayer?

The amount of raw talent on that team means that if they get their shit straight even a little they’ll be a wrecking crew. If this trade doesn’t get them over the hump, then (non-Lebron) personnel moves never will.

God, the decision making was confusingly bad. Thibs must have been close to stroking out every game.

It’s kinda depressing that they used their higher pick on Mirotic But Hopefully Good, though.

Are you telling me Kristaps to MN is happening?!

So what is GarPax’s terrible secret, and how much more is Thibs going to extort from them to keep quiet?
