With Will Barton expected to re-sign in Denver, the Pacers will turn their attention to Doug McDermott and Joe Harris, tweets ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
McDermott, 26, became a free agent on Wednesday when the Mavericks withdrew their qualifying offer. He split this season between New York and Dallas, playing 26 games for the Mavs after a February trade and averaging 9.0 points per night while shooting 49% from 3-point range.
Harris, also 26, is coming off his best NBA season. He averaged 10.8 points and shot 42% on 3-pointers in 78 games for the Nets.
The Pacers want more perimter shooting and don’t have a backup for Bojan Bogdonovich. I can see signing McDermott. After cutting Lance Stephenson, they could use Joe Harris if he doesn’t mind being Oladipo’s backup.
McBuckets fits! Go Pacers!
Not very exciting prospects when you trying to compete, right?
