The Indiana Pacers announced they will not be picking up the option on guard Marquis Daniel's contract for next season. By doing this, Daniels will become a free agent  Wednesday.

Daniels had a decent three-year stint with the Pacers, but injuries forced him out of the lineup many times. The addition of Brandon Rush would also likely force Daniels to the bench if he were to come back next season.

The Pacers declined to pick up the $7.3 million option on his contract next year, and he will be free to sign with any team he wants.

Indiana would like to clear up some space and take a hard look at free agency this offseason, something they normally don't find themselves doing. The money saved from letting Daniels go will go a long way in signing a free agent

This is just the beginning of an interesting offseason for the Pacers. One that will most likely bring many changes for the team.
