AROUND the NBA:

[F Gump]

Mac McClung getting a multi-year contract from the Pacers who cut Wiseman to make room.  Happy for the guy that saved thee dunk contest.

No financial details are yet being aired.

But while the "multi-year" description makes it sound like Indy has made a commitment, it's likely this has no real commitment at all. Or an incredibly minor one. I expect Indy is paying for some possible fan excitement in a lost year.

I would wager --
1 it's minimum salary
2 2nd year has no guarantee and it's just Indy getting an insurance policy in case MM suddenly sprouts into a very useful player. 
3 1st year might have a small guarantee or none at all, with Indy paying him minimum salary for however many days until they decide to waive him
4 Indy is probably no making commitment to him, unless he is on the roster after Jan 10, at which point it becomes a guaranteed deal (all NG deals become fully gtd for the rest of the year if not waived by Jan 10).

No downside to MM. He can't get 2W money. GL pays pennies. So he gets some NBA-level money (which is way better than GL money, even at minimum salary) for as long as he can do enough for them to want to keep him around. And as decimated as the Indy chances are this year, maybe they end up keeping him for the year.

MM is out of 2-way chances, so he's getting a bit of money that's better than GL pay.
