I think Ty Lawson is an unrestricted free agent.

Yep, as of right now the only PGs on the Pacers roster are Jeff Teague and Joe Young. If Wolters has a good Summer League, he should at least get a camp invite. He just needs to stay healthy.

Re: Naters gonna Nate - on the NBA stage

The free agent PG class is considered weak once you get past Mike Conley. Yet today the following contracts got signed : Jeremy Lin - 3 years, $36 million; Matthew Dellavedova - 4 years, $38 million and Jerryd Bayless - 3 years, $27 million. The last 3 are all backup PG's, and realistically are any of them significantly better than Nate ? Not much difference other than a team willing to give them a chance after they were drafted.

I watched the game yesterday and Nate seemed a bit disinterested in things. They have him playing the #2 guard and he doesn't get much action. I was surprised to see him make a costly turnover at the end of the game with a chance to tie it up or win. Hope he gets back on track.

Nate doesn't get the start today...

Feel bad for Nate but think he picked the wrong team for Summer League. If Nate has a future in the league it will be as a point guard, Indy is going to make sure that Joe Young gets the majority of the minutes at that position. They are also interested in seeing the offense of GRIII and Niang so that doesn't leave Nate with much. Hopefully the Utah league will give him a better chance of showcasing his skills.

2 rough days in a row, whatever slim hopes there were of being a Pacer went down the drain today. Hopefully he can catch on in the D-league and perform well.

Might be some possibilities there when you look at their roster. After John Wall, there isn't much PG depth .

Not all about scoring points. GM's looking for other intangibles.

True, but 0-7, only 2-4 at the free throw line, 1 reb in 16 plus minutes. Minus 22 in the plus minus was 2nd worst on the team, sounds like he was abused on the defensive end from what I read. Not many intangibles were shown today.

I like the the signing with Washington. They didn't have any draft picks this year so the shots should be more evenly spread amongst the team and hopefully Nate can garner minutes at PG. I think this will be a better scenario for Nate to get seen in his best position. Either he will be good enough to stand out or he won't ......I just want him to have the chance.
