Minnesota point guard Jeff Teague said NOPE.

Teague then clarified himself. Teague, via Chris Hine of the Minneapolis StarTribune:
“I’ve been around the league,” Teague said. “It’s my 10th year, so I’ve been a part of teams where a lot of things have been going on. It’s part of the game. I don’t think it’s distracting me. It may be distracting some other guys. Either way, man, I love Jimmy. Jimmy is my guy. But if he’s not here, then we’ve got a good team, too.”
Things in Minnesota are bat sh*t crazy.
