The unconfirmed estimate making the rounds on Jeff Teague's expected deal with Minnesota: $55 million over three years


My favorite of the potential pg market, but still not impressed. A three way with clippers for Beverley and Rubio + 1 + player/2's made so much more sense. This seems more lateral than progressive.


Oh, man, Beverley would have been a perfect fit for us. I love that dude's defense.


I edited after you replied. Teague cannot defend, is half the passer, and an average scorer. I do not get this other than him being better off the ball. Worth the trade? I'm not convinced.

I will say I prefer him at sub 20 than Lowry, hill, or holiday at 25-30 a easily. Doesn't mean he is a game changer by any means, Rubio and 19 mil vs. Teague and 14/15 mil for our bench?

Idk... Rubio to jazz, 1,2, player to clippers for Beverley = much better. Of course LA would be stupid to do so, Beverley is a stud on that contract - we all should give it up.

Bev/Griff/Jordan is a damn good core for 50 mil...

The worst part is helping a team we are competing agai t for a playoff spot in the jazz... so dumb. When can the east have a fucking challenge.?!?!?

Teague has some playoff experience and didn't get an absurd contact. Let's get a shooter now.

While Ricky has great raw passing skills, Teague was only behind 1.3 APG (7.8 to 9.1) and he was only 3% behind Ricky in possessions that ended in an assist (36.4 to 38.9). He also protects the ball better than Ricky (career 16.4% turnover % to Ricky's 21.2) with a higher usage rate. Teague is just a really solid PG offensively.
