    patience could pay off nicely with Scola

    I would love me some Scola. Better then anybody we could get in FA's.

    technically we could scoop everyone and just bid his full contract amount. I don't think anyone else would do that. We'd get him, and then we could sign Batum whenever for whatever. When you go bargain-shopping for partial amnesty bids it gets tricky.

    Do we have the cap space to do that? Would that only be a "pre-Batum-match" option?

    Can we bid more than his full contract amount?

    Saw Andre Miller actually got around $15 million over 3 years not the $9mil originally reported.

    Yes, and yes. We have 11,240,312 right now, and 5,665,289 after Nic signs (assuming matching a 4/45M deal).

    No. If there are multiple teams with a full waiver claim, it goes in order of worst record.

    Not really a FA, but apparently Calderon wants to be traded. Would he be a good fit here? Probably retards Lillard's growth, but definitely fits the veteran PG need. He just has 1 year left, so it's a pretty minor investment.

    Indy signed DJ Augustin and Gerald Green.

    Edit: Nevermind, late to the party on this one.

    Yep, why not... even if he rides the pine behind Nolan, he'll be good to practice against.

    Uh, if he did not play ahead of Nolan I would not bother signing him, he's way better than Nolan and put's Nolan in the 3rd spot where he belongs
