Jul 31, 2010 9:15 AM

The Pacers haven't signed rookie big man Magnum Rolle to a contract, but they are expected to do so before training camp begins on September 28.

"He will be invited to training camp. I anticipate he will be signed before camp. We like how he played in the rookie camp and also what he showed in the Summer League. He is here in Indianapolis, working out on his own. There is a reasonable chance he will be with us when the season opens," said team spokesman David Benner.

As of Friday morning, the Bulls had not completely ruled out signing veteran free agent Tracy McGrady.

When Eddie House signed with the Heat, the Bulls lost one of their free agent options. Chicago continues to look at Keith Bogans and Roger Mason Jr.
