ATLANTA -- Jeff Teague is still a member of the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks on Saturday matched the four-year, $32 million offer sheet the
restricted free agent point guard signed with Milwaukee earlier this week.

A move to Milwaukee would have allowed Teague to be reunited with former
Hawks coach Larry Drew, who helped recruit him to the Bucks, sources told
ESPN.com.

Instead, Teague will remain in Atlanta and run the offense for new coach Mike
Budenholzer.

Teague, a four-year veteran and two-year starter, set career highs with his
averages of 14.6 points and 7.2 assists last season. He ranked 12th in the
league in assists and is one of only 10 players to increase his scoring
average each of the last three seasons.

"He has improved each year of his career and continues to get better," Hawks
general manager Danny Ferry said. "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."

The Hawks lost Josh Smith, who signed with Detroit, but have re-signed
guard-forward Kyle Korver and added free-agent forwards Paul Millsap and
DeMarre Carroll.

Budenholzer said Teague "has a high level of talent."

"Keeping him with our group allows us to continue to build and improve going
forward," he said.

Teague was the No. 19 overall pick out of Wake Forest in the 2009 draft.

Atlanta also signed point guard Dennis Schroder, a first-round draft pick
from Germany, this week.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, signed free-agent guard O.J. Mayo on Saturday. And now,
with Teague out of the picture, it could ramp up its efforts to bring back
Brandon Jennings, a restricted free agent who's played all four of his NBA
seasons with the Bucks.


公鹿給Teague的4年32M的合約老鷹跟了

看來Jennings回公鹿應該是八九不離十

這也意味著本季所有A咖自由球員的歸屬也都塵埃落定

下季的NBA自由球員將會有熱火三巨頭 Kobe Melo PP Nowitzki Duncan

滷蛋 P.George Granger P.Gasol Randolph Gay Monroe Wall Cousins等

這幾個球員的冠軍戒指跟入選ASG的次數加起來實在是夠嚇人

在我的記憶中應該沒有過同時有這麼多A咖FA跟RFA同時投入自由球員市場
