SEPTEMBER 7: The deal is now official, according to RealGM’s NBA transactions log.
SEPTEMBER 6: The Pacers will sign 6’5″ shooting guard Trey McKinney-Jones to a training camp contract, tweets Chris Reichert of 2 Ways and 10 Days. This comes after news just broke that DeQuan Jones will be part of Indiana’s camp.
McKinney-Jones, 27, has never appeared in an NBA regular season game and spent most of his career with the Pacers’ G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. He has also played overseas in France, Israel and Hungary.
The two signings will bring the Pacers up to 19 players in camp, one under the league maximum. Only 13 have guaranteed salaries, so there will be opportunities for both Joneses to earn a roster spot.
Off topic but a few things I noticed about this year…
1. Nick Young and JaVale McGee may win a title together
2. Both players who’s last name start with Q play for the Rockets
3. There’s a lot more guys with the letter Z on their jersey
4. Unless Jason Terry gets a contract with the Bucks there’s no players left from that big Jersey/Boston trade, yet it’s still gonna be the biggest storyline for a year
5. Almost all of the Celtics picks that got waived are picked up except Bentil and Hunter
#1 makes me weep.
