Shortly after news dropped that the Indiana Pacers had acquired Jeff Teague in a three-team deal, Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Pacers planned to work on a contract extension with their newly acquired point guard.
Indiana has plans to work on signing Teague to a contract extension, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Teague is entering the final year of a deal that will pay him about $8.8 million (after a 10% trade bonus) in the 2016-17 season. Locking up the 28-year old product of Indianapolis’ Pike High School for several more years would only make sense for the Pacers.
