Rumor: Hawks in discussion to send Jeff Teague to Houston

[Smook A.]

An insider on the Hawks forum has said that this is being discussed. Atlanta apparently really likes Dennis Schroeder and wouldn't mind trading Jeff Teague.

If the trade does in fact go down, the Rockets will get Teague and the Hawks get Patrick Beverley and the 1st round pick Rockets got from Pelicans.

That'd be big for Houston. Legit big three now.

[Richesly]

LMAO.

Coach Bud would NEVER DO THIS TRADE EVER.


You gotta be shittin' me :roll: :roll: :roll:

The Hawks have a number of valuable assets on deck. Not saying I'm a proponent of this particular trade but they could blow it up and yield all types of return. Teague, Korver, Horford, Milsap....

Houston goes from 1st round exit to wcf lock if this goes down

I've been saying that HOU should seek Teague + Millsap- they'd have a very solid starting 5 then. I think the Pellies' first is enough though for just Teague (Bev would be nice off the bench for HOU).

I'm not entirely sure Millsap is sticking around in ATL, so HOU should ask about him.

[Mr Know It All]

Seems legit.:whatever:

[dontgetchoked]

i dont understand why the hawks would do this. trade a very nice point guard, borderline allstar so far this year, for a bench player and hope that dennis becomes a great player? or are they going to start beverly, which would make even less sense? hawks are a solid playoff team, 4 or 5 seed imo. I just don't see it.

[Richesly]

Teague just had a 28/6 game and is having his best season.

Why on earth would Coach Bud trade him for a borderline starting PG and non-guaranteed 1st pick?


This rumor was made by a Rocket's fan.

That's would be a championship lock

Anyways, Hawks are not going to do this

[Lebronxrings]

calling it now; if they do this, houston gets worse. Beverly is the real leader of the team.

Millsap in Houston would be perfect. He's the kind of PF we've been looking for, for a very long time now. He can help stretch the floor so it can give Dwight some space to score in the post and he can also put the ball in the bucket in a number of ways. The only sad part is, I don't think we can give the Hawks what they want for Millsap.

Rockets can probably get Teague but it'll definitely take more than just Bev and the Pelicans' 1st round pick.

[lilteapot]

Yea that is not happening lol./

[jbryan1984]

In all honesty, ATL should blow it up. They will never get out of the second round. They need to move on and ship out the remains of the JJ/J Smooth era. I love Teagues game and he can be a great asset. Horford is injury prone. Bottom line is no big FA is coming and they aren't bad enough to get a good pick. They are stuck.

[JohnFreeman]

Won't happen.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

They can't get more than a late lottery-18 pick and Bev for Teague?

Teague is solid and on a reasonable contract but how many teams are in the market for a PG? Let alone potentially getting a lotto pick for him?

I'm not hating, I'm just thinking of who else may want him.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Is the pick protected?

Lakers, Kings (even tho DC is playing decent right now), Bucks, Knicks, and Philly could all use a future PG, imo. Probably the Pacers as well. However, I do hate George Hill.

I seem to recall the Bucks trying to sign Teague when he was a rfa.

Don't know about offers. Just seems a little to me for a 26 year old PG, doesn't seem not yet in his prime, on a good contract (8/8/8).

The Pelicans' pick is protect 1-3 and 21-30 I think. You're right- other teams could definitely stand to upgrade at PG, but some teams don't have the pick to deal (or the willingness to give one up) and/or are preserving cap space for this summer or the future.

I've been a fan of Teague for several years, but there are probably 10 other PGs with better or equal trade value (potentially many more). The position is so deep nowadays that his value is reduced a bit. Hawks themselves would rather deal Teague than his back-up, and I think that has to count for something.

Why do people feel Houston is a first round exit????

Houston might not be a fav in the West but there is a path for them to win the west or make a deep run depending on who they match up against. There is little that separates the WC so there isn't anyone who's a lock for anything, and even if the Rockets added Teague I don't think such a drastic midseason move would vault them ahead of any of the other contenders.
