The Indiana Pacers aren t expected to be active in NBA free agency, but fans can dream. The legal tampering period begins Aug. 2. Here s a look at the top 50 (or so) players ranked by position:
Point guards
Pacers needs: They want to bring back T.J. McConnell but he s looking at a hefty raise on the $3.5 million he made last season. Aaron Holiday could be elevated to the full-time backup point guard role or the Pacers could look to add a player at the bottom of this list for a reasonable contract.

A year ago, he was a bad contract. Now Paul might not even pick up that $44-million option because he can get a long-term deal. Averaged 16.4 points, 8.9 assists and shot 49.9% overall, 39.5% on 3s in leading the Suns to the NBA Finals.
