2297484, ESPN had it wrong then (which your article alludes to)

and I couldn't find the 2014 list on NBA.com but still...he likes Indy and I think these talking heads are exaggerating Indy's reluctance to spend.
If he gets 10-11 mil from Indy, I think he stays. That's 3-4 mil over the expected cap. If Indy makes the finals (win or lose), they'll open the check book. The Pacers will make money off of dethroning Miami alone.
And they'll likely make a 'hard' decision on a few guys like OKC did with Harden. I wouldn't be shocked if Mahinmi, Hill, Copeland or David West was eventually dealt to help them stay under the cap line.
It does improve our chances though so my stance on the Lance option changes a bit.
