THURSDAY, 3:44pm: The Pacers have reached an agreement with D.J. Augustin on a one-year contract, according to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star (via Twitter). The deal will pay Augustin $3.5MM, tweets Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. The move not only comes on the heels of Augustin becoming an unrestricted free agent, but also a day after the Pacers agreed to send point guard Darren Collison to the Mavericks.
Pacers Sign Gerald Green
The Pacers officially announced that they have signed guard/forward Gerald Green today. The former 18th overall pick of the 2005 draft averaged 12.9 PPG in 31 games with the Nets last season, shooting an exceptional 48.1% from the field and 39.1% from deep. Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, we relayed a report yesterday that the team was expected to make an offer worth $10MM over three years.
Hawks Sign Lou Williams
THURSDAY, 5:20pm: GM Danny Ferry announced today that the team has signed Williams to a multi-year contract (via an official press release).
TUESDAY, 4:04pm: The Hawks have reached an agreement on a multiyear contract with Lou Williams, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Atlanta has trades lined up to send Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams to the Nets and Jazz respectively, but still won't have much free cap space, so I would guess the deal is for the mid-level exception.
Wizards Re-Sign Cartier Martin
Via an official press release from NBA.com, GM Ernie Grunfeld has announced that the team has re-signed Cartier Martin. The 6'7 guard/forward averaged 23.0 MPG, 9.3 PPG, and shot 44.0% from the field for Washington last season, appearing in 17 games and starting twice.
