Much better situation for him to contribute sooner.

A Christmas Story...

Good for Rakeem! Two years guaranteed - nice

 

[Toga]

That's awesome. So even if he doesn't make it beyond the 2nd year, he should have a million bucks after agent and taxes. Plus endorsements - he'll never want for anything if he handles his money well. Very happy to see this.

 

[Day2]

I was hoping he'd wind up with the Clippers. They could use him behind Jordan and Griffin.

Way to go Rak!

 

[jekelish]

I for one look forward to seeing Rakeem rock a "Hickory Pacers" jersey...

Bringing in an Orange to do what a Hoya couldn't

 

[General20]

This is great news, he really had no chance to escape the D League on Cleveland's current roster, but on an Indiana team that just lost its starting center and power forward things are looking great for Christmas.

No reason he should fear Ian Mahimi and Jordan Hill.

 

[igor]

he;ll wind up as the steal of the draft. hell command a double team from day one.

I thought I was going to see this:

I've been in Santa Claus several times. There's a nice Christmas shop there plus a great theme park (Holiday World). Not too far west from Louisville. I'll keep an eye out for Rakeem!

 

[jgeorge322]

I think hes going to stick in nba. Never forget jb saying rak wont peak until a few years after he leaves cuse.

 

[shandeezy7]

Much better situation for Rak imo. The Pacers only have three other bigs on the roster as of right now. I'm sure his ability to play the 4 and the 5 when playing small ball was appealing to the Pacers.

 

[Libero2]

Getting that kind of commitment from Indiana is huge.

Great work Rakeem!

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Happy for Rakeem, love the kid, selfishly unhappy for Fireball Junior 'cause I was amped to seeing him on my (current) favorite NBA team. This may mean the Cavs are considering bringing in the Russian center Kaun to back up the Russian center Mozgov. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/1...keem-christmas-indiana-pacers-set-larger-deal

 

[two3zone]

Love the fact he got a deal, no matter who he's playing with it's nice to see him with a contract in hand.

 

[jordoo]

That's great for Rak. Guaranteed money and very likely rotational minutes. I wonder if he has a player option for season 3 and four?
