 Contract Signing WiretapVeteran McKey waived by PacersThe AP reports: Derrick McKey, a 14-year NBA veteran, was waived Monday by the Indiana Pacers. "This was a very difficult decision to make because Derrick has been one of the best players we've had here and has been responsible for many of our successes," team president Donnie Walsh said. "With the way our roster is developing and the improvement of our younger players, it was going to be hard for Derrick to get playing time this year. Hopefully, he'll be able to gain a roster spot with another team," Walsh said.

Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, the two receive percentage raises based on the rookie contracts they signed in 1999. Terry, the 10th overall pick, will go from $1.689 million to $2.153 million while Glover, the former Cedar Grove High and Georgia Tech standout who was the 20th selection, will go from $1.027 million to $1.584 million. The Hawks did not exercise the fourth-year option on center-forward Cal Bowdler. "Purely a business decision," general manager Pete Babcock said. We want to retain some flexibility," Babcock said. "Right now we have 10 guaranteed contracts for next season. If we picked up the option on Cal that would make 11. This is not to say we won't re-sign him next summer." Bowdler was not upset by the news. "I don't have the credentials for an extension," he said. "I haven't earned it and I haven't had a chance to earn, so it's not a problem for me. I plan to be in the league a long, long time." By not extending Bowdler, however, the Hawks will have an easier time trading him because many teams are looking for players with one-year deals, again to have flexibility. That was the case with Nazr Mohammed, a throw-in last February in the Dikembe Mutombo trade. Atlanta Hawks, Contract Signing Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Oct 2001 Archive
