From Indy Corn RowsI do not own this picture. The NBA and/or Yahoo owns it all.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Indiana Pacers are nearing a conclusion with New York Knicks free agent Chris Copeland for a two year contract.
The details of the contract
have yet to be revealed, but Indiana will add Copeland as a sharpshooter
off the bench. The 29-year-old Copeland was a rookie with the Knicks
last year, shooting .421 from three point range in a three-point heavy
New York offense. There are understandable concerns about Copeland being
a player who can contribute at the same level again this year, but
Indiana appears to be willing to take the risk on a two-year deal.
Copeland was easy to take note
of when the Pacers played the Knicks this past postseason, with Copeland
stepping into three pointers (and hitting them) immediately after
checking into the game, going 11-20 from three point range in the six
game series. Ideally, Copeland won't be relied on too heavily as a
necessary shooter or offensive threat in the second unit, but any
offensive potency will prove a welcome sign after last year.
