The 21-year-old Teague played in 21 games for the Nets in the 2013-14 season, averaging 3.0 points and 1.4 assists in 9.6 minutes per game, mostly in garbage time. His career player efficiency rating of 4.8 is the lowest in NBA history of any player that’s played more than 82 games.
Teague’s departure could signal that the Nets prefer Jorge Gutierrez as their third-string guard. Gutierrez is on a non-guaranteed contract and unloading Teague without adding a player would allow them to retain him along with Cory Jefferson and Jerome Jordan, who both played more in preseason than Gutierrez.
