Magnum Rolle has signed a two-year NBA contract with the Indiana Pacers.

The second round pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Rolle followed a productive summer league with impressive play in the Pacer?s preseason workouts.

Originally drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 51st overall pick, Rolle was traded to Indiana on draft night.

Brandon Rush is using training camp and the preseason to convince the Pacers to pick up his his $2.9 million team option for the 11-12 season.

Rush will be suspended for the first five games of the season.

"I do think it could play a part a little bit, but I'm trying not to worry about it," said Rush, who has been practicing with the second unit. "I should be fine as long as I come out here and show I've been putting in the work and I've changed my lifestyle. Everything should work out fine if I do those things."

The Pacers are expected to pick up center Roy Hibbert's $2.6 million option for next season.

Pacers forward Danny Granger chatted with Jorge Sierra of HoopsHype.com this week and discussed a variety of topics.

For one, Granger agrees with the team's stance on rookie guard Lance Stephenson, who has been banned from the team's facilities in the wake of a domestic abuse incident.

"You have to put your foot down at one point," Granger said. "We've had a lot of incidents happen in Indianapolis that caused bad publicity for the team and the community. You have to put your foot down and take a stand about things."

Granger also said that he thinks he and new point guard Darren Collison could be a tandem for years to come.

"He's young and I'm young. I think we can be a lot of years in Indiana together."

Roy Hibbert has had a busy offseason and reportedly has his body fat down to 10 percent.

Hibbert has been working with Bill Walton in hopes of having a breakout year in his third NBA season.

He averaged 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks during the 2009-10 season.

Pacers president Larry Bird said Tuesday that the team is still looking for ways to improve as training camp approaches.

"I can't tell you if something is going to happen or not but we're still looking," Bird told Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.

Bird also provided updates on the conditions of Tyler Hansbrough, Jeff Foster and A.J. Price.

Hansbrough hasn't been cleared to go all out.

"When they release him to go, he'll go," Bird said. "I don't know when that's going to happen. I know he's got another meeting with his doctors coming up.

"He's in top condition. I don't worry about Tyler as far as being in shape."

Foster has been limited, by design, following offseason back surgery.

"There's no use in going all out right now," Bird said. "He'll be in shape. I know how hard it is to sit out a whole year and come back. It takes time.

"Jeff is a specialty-type player. Whatever we can get out of him, he'll help us."

Price is back on the court following serious knee surgery.

"It's going to be a challenge for him to be 100 percent for training camp," Bird said. "He's looked pretty good, but he's not 100 percent. It's still good that he's able to go against some competition."

Alan Hahn of Newsday writes that the previous report involving a rumored three-way trade between the Trail Blazers, Knicks and Pacers was not accurate.

The Pacers offered to send the pick for Anthony Randolph but the Blazers were not involved in the proposed deal.

Knicks' president Donnie Walsh declined the offer.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh recently rejected a three-team deal that would have sent Anthony Randolph to Indiana, a first-round pick to Portland and Rudy Fernandez to New York, according to a team source.

The Knicks have been linked to Fernandez, who wants out of Portland and has listed New York as one of his preferred destinations.

The Trail Blazers want a first-round pick for Fernandez, which means the Knicks need to get a third team involved.

The Pacers are making it clear to rookie guard Lance Stephenson that his recent behavior will not be tolerated.

Stephenson allegedly pushed his girlfriend down a flight of stairs last month.

The team hasn't even allowed him to work out at Conseco Fieldhouse.

"Pacers taking strong stance with Lance Stephenson. He hasn't been permitted to workout at Conseco since his alleged incident last month," Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star wrote on his Twitter page.
