And for the record, Brandon Bass is a 6-8 million dollar player.  Jeff Teague is not.  I think you really need to take a look around at contracts in this league.

I don't necessarily disagree with you that somebody will be foolish enough to give Teague a contract close to that number (though I think you could look at what Jeremy Lin makes and come to a different conclusion).

In any case, there is a difference between what a player CAN make on the open market and what a smart team SHOULD be willing to pay for him.

Devin Harris' best year (before his extension) wasn't nearly as good as Teague's year last year.  Teague is a much better long distance shooter, a better defender, a better passer, and a comparable defender.  He will get a contract bigger than Devin Harris. 

Rondo is 12 this year, 13 next year, and then will be do for a new contract.  Given he will still be in his prime he is going to get a pretty hefty raise (if he is healthy), so you put his first 2 years of the new contract against Teague, and you can see why Teague is much cheaper (at the 4 yr, 40 million or so) than Rondo will be.

And for the record, Brandon Bass is a 6-8 million dollar player.  Jeff Teague is not.  I think you really need to take a look around at contracts in this league.

Oh, so you're actually on board with joining the senseless overspending that has taken place this offseason? Thanks, that's all I needed to know about your opinions.

this off season?  that is the going rate for someone like Teague and has been for years.
