In fairness, we probably would have signed Teague anyway. And we would have bumped somebody off our now fill roster, presumably Green.
So, it’s more like:
Turner + McDermott + Teague vs. Thompson + Green + Teague
I would definitely take the first team, particularly if we would have squeezed in under the luxury tax. I think Turner is significantly better as an interior defender.
Right now, the only real positive is the monetary savings, but since we’re below the tax line either way, it only really matters to Wyc.
If we’re judging the outcomes just as they effect this season, I think we’re worse off.
