Shams: Indy will waive Tristan Thompson

[Scoot McGroot]

if he gave up a prorated veteran minimum deal, we should be able to fill the roster spot with a prorated veteran minimum deal (or less) without changing our cap or tax situation.

Yup. Could even be in our favor if we fill the spots with rookies or players with 1 year. Like, Terry Taylor or Duane Washington would get a little less.

that's what I was assuming - that a young player's minimum would be lower than Tristan's minimum.

Are you being sarcastic or serious? All I have seen is that Chicago looses their BAE for this summer and Pacers get a little farther away from luxury tax ?

I’m joking. Was joking that Tristan gave up $774k to us in savings, and then got $1m from the Bulls. Traditionally, the understanding is that the player gives up what they can make elsewhere. Here, Tristan keep an extra $250k. It’s all fine. Was just cracking a joke, is all.
