The Nets re-signed Young last offseason on a four-year, $50 million deal.

Pacers Acquire Jeff Teague In Three-Team Trade

Jun 22, 2016 2:22 PM

The Indiana Pacers have acquired Jeff Teague from the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade.

The Utah Jazz will acquire George Hill from Indiana as part of the deal. The Jazz will send the 12th overall pick to the Hawks as part of the deal.

Teague will be a free agent in 2017 and the Hawks will go forward with Dennis Schroder at the point guard position.

Teague grew up in the Indianapolis area.

Like Teague, Hill will also be a free agent in 2017. The Jazz had a need at point guard last season after Dante Exum was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
