Lastly, Pincus says he thinks that the Pacers will keep T.J. McConnell who is a free agent. 

The Tweet from Pincus can be seen in a post that is embedded below from his Twitter account. 

I had heard Caruso was a target of the Pacers, Hawks and Cavs - but the Pacers, I think, keep TJ (TBD) - and the Hawks just got Wright and the Cavs Rubio - so maybe the market for AC has shifted. If I'm Lakers, I don't think twice about keeping him
