I think with the unusual model you have (most users often are part of
many teams) you may be having a harder time just figuring out how the
relationships are in actuality simply for the fact that our minds tell
us something doesn't feel right because we know users often want to be
able to be on multiple teams.

We get mental friction when we know we're doing things wrong or a way
our mind doesn't exactly recognize as normal.

Not saying that you are, just say that it's possible that there could
be a better way to define the relationships. :)

With that said, if users really only belong to one team, then why
bother with memberships in the first place? You could easily have just
two tables and models if a user ever only has one team. (Though, like
I said, that's not usually the case).
