A steady hand in the NBA is any team's most valuable asset. Point guards tend to have these the most and their skills only grow over time due to the acumen that they develop. No one exemplified this mastery of the rock more than Jeff Teague in the 2010s. So, how much were his NBA contracts worth and what was the total sum when he retired?
Jeff Teague was enough of a presence to propel a team into victory while also not taking the spotlight away from stars too much. This is why franchises like the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and Minnesota Timberwolves all acquired him at one point in his career. He was the perfect complement to someone whose role was just to score due to his floor general skills.
As a result, he notched career earnings that summed up to about $127.4 million. His longest stint was obviously with the Hawks. He got drafted by them and this prompted him to stay with the franchise from 2009 to 2016. He even made a return to the squad during the 2019-2020 season. Despite having the longest time there, he did not reach his highest contract with the team from Georgia. Instead, the Timberwovles were the ones who gave it to him.
Alongside Karl Anthony-Towns and Andrew Wiggins, he earned $19 million as a base salary with bonuses that reached up to $24 million. This was during his supposed prime which took place in the 2017 to 2019 seasons. All of these are a big testament to how insanely talented he was at controlling the pace of the game. While he may not be a legend in most fans' eyes, his service to all the NBA squads he played in will be invaluable.
