#4 Jeff Teague - Minnesota Timberwolves

Jeff Teague

Jeff Teague remains a solid contributor for the Minnesota Timberwolves, although it is evident that the team need a younger and more dynamic guard if they are to establish themselves as a contender in the West over the next few seasons.

The Timberwolves have reportedly targeted Golden State's D'Angelo Russell as their future starting point guard. And to complete a move, the Wolves will need to find a way to offload the final season of Teague's $19 million contract.

Teague is averaging 14.1 points and 6.9 assists this season, and he could play a prominent role from the bench for a contending team until the end of the season. Additionally, he could also be sent to an out-of-contention team as salary filler.

Whatever the outcome, the 31-year-old's time in Minnesota appears to be coming to an end.
