Okay let's say Roy opts out who are some free agents that you guys could see the pacers going after next season?

If Roy opts out, we renounce all our free agents, and the full MLE, and BAE, we'd have about $7m in cap space, and then the smaller room MLE of around $3m. I imagine we'd operate as a capped out team and keep our exceptions and bird rights to Scola, Allen, etc, unless we find that one free agent that just wants a BIT more than the MLE.

To clearify, if Roy opts "OUT" and we renounce all our free agents and exceptions we have only $7 million? I'd think we would be at $48.4 million roughly not counting the #11 and #43. Then we look to resign Scola, Allen and Stucky right? PG,GH, West, Solo, Ian, Rudez and Shayne that's 12 guys. I'd think we need a big like Koofus, and a backup point guard.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I messed up. I still had the MLE and BAE in that calculation. If we renounce everything, we'd have about $15m in cap space, and the room exception after.

I would be absolutely shocked if he opted out. The only thing I could think of is that his agent thinks his value is high (haha) and that he could get a long term deal now, rather than risk injury or poor play next season and lose a lot of money. I think even if we Jamaal Tinsley'd him, he would gladly collect this paychecks and sit at home. Honestly, with him, who knows?
