The world is big, there are no wonders.
Players without champions, one by one, got big contracts of their own on the free market.
Jeff Teague, who won the championship with the Bucks, has been ignored until now.
The 33-year-old former All-Star point guard is facing the biggest challenge of his career:
Continue to wait for the opportunity to fight, or retire and leave the field, you can only choose one or the other.
In 34 games for the Celtics this season, Teague averaged 6.9 points, 2.1 assists and a 46.4 percent three-point shooting percentage.
Even after being cut to join the Bucks, he still averaged 6.6 points per game, 2.8 assists, and shot 38.5 percent from three-point range.
Although after entering the playoffs, Teague's average per game dropped to only 2 points.
But considering that there were not a few games in total.
So in general, this age group can shoot above the level of three-point shooting rate, in fact, there is still a battle.
As for why no one has asked for a long time.
The old man's personal opinion is: it is not the point guard that the market needs.
Teague's regular-season personal data is more than enough to act as a team's backup point guard.
The reasons why no one in the market is willing to offer him a contract are:
Because of defensive flaws, the playoffs are easy to become a breakthrough, because of the age problem to rebuild the team and do not need, the position is not up and down, extremely embarrassing.
The reality is so harsh.
Teague can control the ball, can organize, can shoot as a shooter, put in the CBA or Europa League, and is still a stadium killer.
Unfortunately, this is the NBA, and the survival of the fittest is too serious.
If he is 1.98 meters tall, presumably there will still be many teams that offer basic salary contracts.
Unfortunately, Teague is only 1 meter 91.
The point guard himself is not popular now, and he also happens to be a thin point guard.
If there is still no team to extend his contract, Teague will have to be forced to retire...
