The team will not pick up the team option next season, Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said Monday.”This was a very difficult decision, but as free agency begins on July 1, we want to have flexibility so that we can prepare for all of our available
options,” he said.A year ago E.J. Gaines Jersey , Pritchard decided to trade star Paul George before almost surely losing him in free agency and got Victor Oladipo and Domantas
Sabonis from Oklahoma City in a deal that turned out remarkably well for
Indiana.Oladipo emerged as a leader, earned his first All-Star trip and won the league’s steals title. Sabonis, a lottery pick in 2016, became a key contributor
off the bench. Point guard Darren Collison was the NBA’s most accurate 3-point
shooter, and Thaddeus Young and Bojan Bogdanovic thrived in their
roles Ricky Wagner Jersey , too. Myles Turner, Indiana’s 22-year-old center, was one of the league’s leaders in blocks.Four of the starting five and Sabonis are already under contract for next season, with Young being the lone exception. He and backup point guard Cory
Joseph have player options.Now Pritchard has decided to part withStephenson brought grit off the bench for a team that won 48 games, fell just short of finishing in the top four in the Eastern Conference and was within four
points late in a first-round Henry Anderson Jersey , Game 7 loss to Cleveland. Stephenson, an eight-year veteran, finished the season averaging 9.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and
2.9 assists per game.The decision was no doubt wrenching for a team that bonded in finishing strong: Six players approached Pritchard before the trade deadline and pleaded
with the GM not to make any moves because they wanted to close out the season
together. Pritchard said it a first for him, and kept the team intact.—The Oakland Raiders have signed cornerback Daryl Worley just over a week after his release by Philadelphia following an arrest.Worley was let go by the Eagles on April 15 after being arrested near the Eagles' practice facility. Police used a Taser on him after he became combative
and NFL Network also reported that a gun was found in Worley's vehicle.Philadelphia had acquired Worley earlier in the offseason from Carolina in a trade for receiver Torrey Smith. Worley was a third-round pick by the Panthers
in 2016 and had 150 tackles Dion Sims Jersey , two sacks, three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in 31 games.The Raiders also announced on Monday that they have exercised the fifth-year option on receiver Amari Cooper. After posting 1,000-yard seasons in his first
two seasons in the NFL, Cooper struggled last season with 48 catches for 680
yards and seven TDs.The $13.9 million option keeps Cooper under Oakland's control through 2019. It is only guaranteed for injury. Authentic Womens Tarvarius Moore Jersey
