Interesting to see how the roster will shake out now - does he spend time in D-League?
(do you guys have a D-League affiliate?)

If not - where is that roster spot coming from?

I think Ft. Wayne is our D-League team, not sure tho. We haven't been usin the D-League. Trade somebody or somebody is gettin cut.

We got him from you guys. He better get signed or we just wasted $500k.

He must be doing something right - I would guess that the second year is a team option or is only partially guaranteed?
I've not seen him play - did he get any burn in Summer league? How'd he look?

[Clangus]

I also wonder if this is a precursor to a deal with the (possibly) the Knicks - Indy needs to get rid of some players - the KNicks need picks and assets (expirings?) to help grease a Melo trade.

story is team wanted a three year contract and Rolle wanted only two as he expects to be worth more down the road. we've never used our D-League affiliate in Fort Wayne thinking the player would benefit more being with our coaches. besides you have to be on the 15 man roster to be sent down.

Rolle was one of the best at Orlando Summer League

Put in the work young fella. I see bright days ahead for you.

Good news I think. This could mean he was either really impressive at camp (better than some other player(s) we have) or we have a trade at hand.
