Free-agent forward Solomon Hill has reached agreement on a four-year, $52 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources told The Vertical.
The Indiana Pacers declined the $2.3 million option on the final year of his rookie contract, clearing the way for Hill to hit unrestricted free agency and strike a substantial deal with the Pelicans.
Hill, 25, scored big in a market that is rewarding youth, athleticism and upside. He averaged 7.7 points, four rebounds and 57.9 percent 3-point shooting in the Pacers’ seven-game series loss to the Toronto Raptors.
When Pacers star Paul George missed most of the 2014-15 season with a broken leg, Hill emerged as the team’s starting forward.
Hill has averaged six points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in three NBA seasons.
The Pacers have reshaped their roster this offseason, adding Jeff Teague, Thaddeus Young and Al Jefferson.
