STEIN: Jeff Teague to Wolves for 55 mil/3 years

Not bad. I'm not a Teague guy, but he's probably a better fit than Rubio, and the money and years are fine.

I'm also not a fan of Teague. He seems to only really show up in regular season games and always seems hurt or benched in the playoffs.

I remember him kicking our ass in the playoffs!

I mean, I'm not sure why they're just settling for Teague when they could theoretically go after a difference-maker like Lowry, but whatever, Teague is adequate and the contract is fine.

Jeff Teague has agreed to a three-year, $57M deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources tell The Vertical. 3rd-year player option.

Consider Minnesota a #4 seed in the West now.

Let's let FACTS talk for a minute.

Towns had the 13th best RPM of centers, but was 70th out of 70 flipping centers in Defensive RPM.

Wiggins had ONLY the 52nd RPM of 99 SG's and was 97th out of flipping 99 in Defensive RPM.

The newly signed Teague was 16th (AVERAGE) in RPM for PG's and 24th in DRPM.

The Timberwolves will be LUCKY to FINALLY squeak in as a 7 or 8 seed.

I like this signing, looks like Wolves are trying hard to push for playoffs. That's a very likable team

They're trying to keep space to sign Millsap.

Thibs is doing work this year.

Teague/Butler/Wiggins/Millsap/Towns is a heck of a starting five and a lot better than Rubio/Lavine/Wiggins/Dieng/Towns.

That is a great bit of business. Teague had a really underrated season for Indiana.
