For Jeff Teague, signing with the Celtics ‘was all about winning’

In his 11 seasons in the NBA, veteran guard Jeff Teague has made it to the Eastern Conference Finals just once and didn’t win a single game in that lone appearance.

Teague, who is now on his fourth team after signing a one-year, $2.6 million deal with the Boston Celtics this offseason, wants to win at a higher level, especially when it comes to the playoffs, than he has recently and believes joining the Celtics gives him the best opportunity to achieve that goal.
