Sad to see him go, but he'll get quality minutes there unlike here.


2. Pacers sign Lance Allred for Camp

I don't see him making the team but he could be interesting during camp since Psycho-T and Foster are on the mend.


3. The rookies had their photo shoot recently. Here is a link to watch a story on Paul George:

Keep in mind as well, that the Pacers are still in the process of finding a roster spot for Magnum.

That spot for Rolle could be open if Stephenson is waived. Don't you think he'll be waived if he's convicted?

Hope we don't waive Lance and that he has learned and stays out of trouble. He is much too talented to give up on.
We must find a spot for Magnum, trade or waive Solo to do so.

I'm sure Allred is just here to fill in for practice as an extra body, but did you guys know that he is deaf?
The guy must be an amazing inspiration to many people. Good on him

not necessarily. say for example that a plea bargain is worked out where he pleads guilty and is given probation, mandatory counseling, and community service and the league suspends him for a fixed number of games. I don't think a waiver would be automatic if the team was satisfied he'd learned from the experience. I should probably add that I'm open to the possibility that he has a side of the story which may never get fully presented because the risks of going to trial and losing are just too great not to accept the prosecutor's offer.
