I don't think we had enough to get Teague and there was no guarantee he would have come here anyway. He was the only comparable player available to Jrue and the defense would have certainly taken a step back. So after Teague who else? Patty Mills? He likely wasn't leaving the Spurs without an overpay so now you have a downgrade at the position and you are still overpaying.
Okay, I'm waiting. Let's hear the realistic alternatives.
