The Fresh Prince was the first to suggest this and so I should give him some credit for what I am about to say.
With Burke and MCW looking more and more untouchable, it would appear that the Jazz will be out of luck in re a PG. One writer on ESPN had this to say concerning this situation.
"while the Jazz have an exciting collection of young talent (Burks, Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors, and Gordon Hayward), they need a dynamic young orchestrator to create offense for others. That player must also be a guardable threat on the court. Teague's ability to penetrate and get to the rim forces defenses to collapse, which would open up playmaking opportunities for dump offs to bigs like Favors and Kanter. His ability to shoot from the perimeter would also make him a nice fit in the Jazz flex offense. As Larry Coon pointed out, the Jazz figure to have the second most cap space heading into the offseason, with potentially more than $30 million in room. This gives Utah a lot of flexibility in structuring Teague's offer sheet to make it as unpalatable as possible for Atlanta to match. Other than offering a descending scale contract, they can give Teague a 10 percent signing bonus, which would apply itself equally to all non-option years of the deal. Furthermore, they can arrange to have the cash out payment schedule (i.e. the actual checks that go out) to pay 50 percent of the salary prior to the start of the season."
The writer, Amin Elhassan, also suggests that the JAzz could sign teague to 4 years 30 million, which would be about 7.5 million a year... i'd be happy with that.
Do you think we shoudl sign Teague?
