PG: Jeff Teague

If you ever have watched the current Clippers center play, you know he does two things really well: block shots and dunk. He dunks a lot. So far this season, 101 out of his 154 shot attempts have either been a dunk or an alley-oop.

With a guy like that who is so focused on scoring around the rim, Jeff Teague would have a big smile on his face when the trade would be announced. He already has tons of guys who could hop to the rim and soar for the aalley-oop Case and point:

Teague has been a very good distributor this season. His 7.5 assists per game ranks him fourth in the NBA, behind LeBron James, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook. That number would only go up with Jordan in a Timberwolves uniform.

Plus, having a shot blocker like him behind Teague would allow him to take more risks for steals and improve on his 1.6 steals per game.
