Harrison Barnes is far from my first choice but some team is going to offer him a max deal. He has positional flex, can shoot the 3 and is a good defender. Can guard 3's and 4'sHe's a lot like Chandler Parsons- a better shooter and slightly better defender but not nearly the playmaker. And he's healthier. No reason he couldn't be a good 2nd or 3rd option on a good team.
As of now the Teague thing is just a rumour. I agree we can't beat a Noel offer if it comes to that. But there aren't too many point guard-less teams around so we at least have a shot. If Teague can't be got call about George Hill(hell we maybe could've gotten Hill AND Mahinmi for what we gave up for Rondo) who would give us at least shooting and defense of a good contract just as Teague would provide. Teague a better creator of his own shot which this team desperately needs.
