Holiday? What holiday?
NBA front offices were hard at work on the Fourth of July with a Canadian point guard providing the free agent fireworks at the end of the day. For most of the day, former Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash appeared headed for Toronto and then New York to join the Knicks. Either move would've boosted a team in the East that was behind the Indiana Pacers last season.
Then suddenly Nash was dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers to make a geriatric run at a title with Kobe Bryant. The Suns then filled the hole at point guard by signing Goran Dragic in a nice four-year, $34 million deal. That deal is similar to what the Pacers reportedly paid for George Hill, with HoopsWorld reporting the deal is five-years, $40 million.
Other than Hill, the Pacers have been quiet and not tied to any serious offers, instead just interest in various role players. Of course, with the decision on matching Hibbert still in play there may only be a small move or two to make.
