ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks, facing a decision with restricted free agent Jeff Teague, signed first-round draft pick and point guard Dennis Schröder from Germany on Thursday.
The Hawks confirmed that Teague has signed a four-year, $32 million offer sheet with Milwaukee, where he would be reunited with former Atlanta coach Larry Drew. The Hawks have three days to match the offer.
General manager Danny Ferry said the team is considering its decision with Teague.
"As we have consistently said, we value Jeff," Ferry said. "We are in the process of putting together what we believe is a strong foundation for this team and will make the best decision moving forward for our organization."
Teague, a four-year veteran and two-year starter, set career highs with his averages of 14.6 points and 7.2 assists last season.
Guard Lou Williams, recovering from a knee injury, could be the only returning member of a three-man rotation at point guard that also included Teague and Devin Harris, a free agent. Two of the three were often on the court together.
Schröder, 19, has played professionally in Germany since 2009-10. He will participate in the Hawks' Summer League
Schröder, selected No. 17 overall, was the second of two first-round picks for Atlanta. Lucas Nogueira, a 7-foot center from Brazil, was the No. 16 pick and remains unsigned.
