Pacers would like to keep Tyler Hansbrough Posted Jul 1, 2013 On the first official day of Larry Bird's second reign as president of basketball operations, he said the Pacers had extended a qualifying offer to Tyler Hansbrough, a backup forward who was one of their more productive bench players last season. By offering Hansbrough roughly $4.15 million, it makes him a restricted free agent and gives the Pacers the right to match any offer he finds on the open market. (ESPN.com)
