Pacers decline Joe Young according to Woj?

At least that is what I've heard. Haven't actually seen anything from Woj or ESPN. Anyone got any more information?

Least surprising news I’ll hear all offseason.

I expect they are positioning for as much cap space as possible.

This was expected. Looks to be an active thread on twitter. I'll take a look for a thread elsewhere on RealGM.

When is the deadline for GR3's option? I tried to search, but search won't work for me for some reason. Just get an error.

I don't think there is an option. he's just an unrestricted free agent.

That's right. :banghead:

Not sure what I was thinking.

Pacers made these moves because the deadline is now (6/29) for Joe Young and Bojan.

Next up is DC (7/1).

I wonder what he will fetch.

He had a very unlucky season and didn't return as good as he can be.

Not that I view him as a quality player or difference maker.

But he is the only remaining candidate of the 4 scrubketeers Bird brought in as immediate(?) help for Paul George.

With every season passing by, it becomes more and more clear how much both Bird and PG share the responsibilities of those Pacers teams coming up short. If you look at that 2015-2016 roster and count the players still on a NBA team...

And we just witnessed what a good leader does to your team in Oladipo.

I'll be surprised if Joe gets an offer at all. he may have to go to Europe or Asia.

have no idea what we'll do with grob3. we could bring him back for one year, but we could sign someone in his spot.

Zach Lowe listed GRob as a sneaky acquisition that “several good teams have had talks about signing”.

I’ve liked him and think his preseason injury really hurt his chances of helping at all last season. I think he could get some run as one of the 2/3 guys we could really use.

No surprise here. He's had nearly 3 years to show the league what he could do. He pretty much tanked his chances during SL games.
