The Pacers have agreed to terms on a multiyear contract with Donald Sloan, reports Ken Berger of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). It's already the third agreement the Pacers have reached this month, on the heels of deals for C.J. Watson and David West.
Sloan, 25, is a combo guard that has played primarily at the point in the NBA, including a brief and productive run in Cleveland filling in for the injured Kyrie Irving. Assuming the Pacers view him as a point guard as well, Sloan figures to be the third-stringer, behind George Hill and Watson.
Terms of Sloan's deal aren't yet known, but I'd be a little surprised if it was for more than the minimum. Depending on how they signed Watson though, the Pacers should have either the mid-level exception or the bi-annual exception available if necessary.
Sloan is represented by Impact Sports Basketball.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Seriously? Korver and Reddick slip through our fingers and we’re busy signing 3rd string combo guards (which is a nice way to say that he’s not good enough to be a serious PG).
Open up the check book, Mr. Simon! It’s the only way to win in the NBA!!! Either spend some money or get REALLY lucky in the draft like San Antonio did when they got Duncan!
There’s NO EXCUSE for Hansbrough to leave Indy! NO EXCUSE!
Pacers COULDN’T sign Reddick or Korver and stay under the cap, moron. There is an excuse to let Hansbrough go…his name is Chris Copeland who is a HUGE upgrade offensively and cheaper than the qualifying offer of over $4m/yr they would have HAD to offer Phycho-T. As much as I love Tyler, this is an upgrade for less money.
