The Pacers added a little off-day excitement to their road trip with news of negotiations to bring in point guard Ty Lawson and waive Chase Budinger breaking throughout the afternoon.
Obviously, this was not news to the team, let alone Budinger if he had a buyout agreement in place for over a week, as Candace Buckner reported.
Regardless, if Budinger does indeed remain with the team for the game tonight, it does add an odd dynamic. C.J. Miles remains out and since he's been on the shelf, Budinger has played around 15 minutes off the bench.
