I wanna know how much money the pacers have to sign a free agent? and if they could sign Carlos Boozer, he could be the answer for them in the pf position.
Boozer's plans to opt out can the pacers sign him?

Money aside.. He has to want to come here. I just don't think we are competitive enough to be an attractive destination to free agents that are currently in winning situations.Last edited by Roaming Gnome; 12-18-2008, 10:59 PM....Still "flying casual"

His defense is way too suspect for his contract.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Re: Boozer's plans to opt out can the pacers sign him?
i thought the most telling part of the article was this portion:
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has been uncharacteristically effusive in his praise for Millsap during Boozer's absence, and O'Connor told ESPN.com on Wednesday: "We intend to keep Paul Millsap. I don't know how much more succinct I can be."
there was some discussion on the possibility of getting millsap, but the jazz seem pretty sincere about keeping him. reading between the lines, it seems like they might be willing to let boozer walk and keep millsap instead.Comment

Re: Boozer's plans to opt out can the pacers sign him?
Assuming we re-sign Jarrett Jack at a reasonable rate ($4mm-ish), we could possibly afford to do one of the following:
1. Re-sign Rasho at a reduced rate
2. Pick up Quis' option (but this puts us very close to the luxury tax)
3. Sign a player to the full MLE.
One other factor is where we pick. If we end up with a Top-5 pick, that guy will cost us around $3mm, while a pick in the mid-teens will be less than $2. That could be a large enough difference to knock off a couple of the options above.Comment

The way things are around here these days, I'm surprised you even have the guts to suggest this..."A man with no belly has no appetite for life."
