DML requires SObject or SObject list type: Set<String>

I have written a beow code where I have a text field on my object which populates duplicate values of territory name. I need to retrieve a set of this field value (in form of string as the field data type is text) but getting following error.- DML requires SObject or SObject list type: Set<String> in below bold line
Please help!
code:
trigger CMS_Insert_MCCP on CMS_Rule_Line_Item__c (after Insert) {
    List<Territory> territoryList = new List<Territory>();
    List<MC_Cycle_Plan_vod__c> mccp =  new List<MC_Cycle_Plan_vod__c>();
    Set<String> teamList = new Set<String>();
        for(CMS_Rule_Line_Item__c crRecord: Trigger.new){
        teamList.add(crRecord.CMS_Team__c);
    }
       insert teamList;
}

I suggest changing  Set<String> teamList = new Set<String>(); to List<CMS_Team__c> teamList = new List<CMS_Team__c>

Also, note that set class is not an iterable object type, and cannot participate in several common functions yet, including DML operations which is why it needs to be converted to a List

Let me know if this helps

Thanks,

I tried this and when I do that I get error in line teamList.add(crRecord.CMS_Team__c); 
as: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: void add(String) from the type List<CMS_Rule_Line_Item__c>

If crRecord.CMS_Team__c is a string I recommend changing it to List<String> teamList = List Set<String>();

Let me know if that still gives you an error
