    I am PRAYING that it is not $20 mil PER YEAR. I just want to be sure.
    $10 mil this coming season, $5 mil the next season.

      This is premature, but it looks to be a good sign that KP might be going for a 1 to 2 year reboot!
      Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

        You still have to pay the difference to the players you have, but you're right, that's not inherently a penalty, like the luxury tax.

          Seriously what was the point of trading PG so fast if this is your amazing plan?

            Yeah I kind of think this means Ellis is gone. Collison could be our backup point guard, Lance at backup SG. Dipo at starting SG.

                If we're going to tank could we do it without a domestic abuser on the team?

                    I fully expect Sumner to be our long term answer at pg. I'm fine with this move for the meantime.

                      Yeah, which isn't a big deal. Salary floor just means that's the minimum salary $ you are paying for your players. It's not a difficult thing to jump over, either. Wait until the trade deadline and take on some dead weight some team is trying to dump and pick up a minor asset in the process.

                        That would be nice. I don't really think we have the long term point guard answer on our roster currently, but if Sumner could be that guy, that would be a huge bonus.

                          Partially guaranteed 2nd year could make him a decent trade chip at the deadline or next summer. Could be attractive for teams looking to shed a bit of salary.

                            I think if it weren't for his injury this past season, he would have been a borderline lottery pick. Hopefully, he'll pan out. Even if not, DC is a super inexpensive (compared to salaries that are being given out) temporary solution while we see what we have in our young guys.

                              I know I'm missing guys but the guys I'm missing has no future here. Keep plugging away Pritch.
                              Seraphin I want to keep as I'm not confident in IKE health.

                              Lance and GRlll make the Pacers small at SF.

                                Yea you guys are freaking out, this is a good sign we aren't using our capspace just to spend and will wait until we have a good enough team to do so. Let the tank commence.
