Wolves are better with Jeff Teague than without him

It’s possible — though not likely — that veteran point guard Jeff Teague has played his final game in a Timberwolves uniform.

He almost certainly has played his last game of the season, with the Wolves announcing last week that Teague is slated to be in a walking boot as part of his recovery from a recurring left foot injury.

Beyond that, Teague has a player option on the final year of his contract for 2019-20, which would pay him $19 million. A reasonable person would conclude Teague wouldn’t make that much on the open market, so barring a trade, he figures to be on the Wolves next year.
