You never know how free agency will turn out. To wit:
Free agent Kyle O'Quinn has agreed to a one-year, $4.5M deal with the Indiana Pacers, league sources tell Yahoo.

The hometown kid from Jamaica, Queens, O’Quinn declined a $4.2M option to test the market, only to find bupkis. Many people, probably including O’Quinn and his agent, expected the big man to land a multi-year contract at a considerably higher dollar figure than $4.2M, which $4.5M is not. O’Quinn joins another ex-Knick, Doug McDermott, as a new Pacer signee, along with Tyreke Evans.
