Obi Toppin, a restricted free agent, intends to sign a four-year, $60 million contract to stay with the Indiana Pacers. Toppin, who emerged as a top bench contributor for the Eastern Conference finalists, will earn $15 million annually. The Pacers decided to retain Toppin, who previously played for the New York Knicks, to strengthen their roster. The deal is seen as a strategic move by the Pacers to crowd out other suitors by offering $1 million above the mid-level exception each year.
