ATLANTA – Sa Atlanta pa rin si Jeff Teague matapos tapatan ng Hawks nitong Sabado ang four-year, $32 million offer sheet na pinirmahan ng restricted free agent point guard sa Milwaukee.
Kung nakalipat sana sa Milwaukee si Teague, makakasama niya si dating Hawks coach Larry Drew.
Bagkus, siya ang mangangasiwa ng opensa para sa bagong coach ng Atlanta na si Mike Budenholzer.
Nagtala si Teague, four-year veteran at two-year starter, ng career high averages na 14.6 points at 7.2 assists noong nakaraang season. Siya ay pang-12th sa league sa assists at isa sa 10 players na tumaas ang scoring average sa nakaraang 3 seasons.
“He has improved each year of his career and continues to get better,’’ sabi ni Hawks general manager Danny Ferry. “At 25, he’s already been a key contributor on a playoff team and we look forward to seeing him develop into even more of a leader on our team.’’
