Al Jefferson and the Indiana Pacers have reached a verbal agreement on a three-year, $30 million deal, league sources told ESPNs Marc Stein. Franklin Morales Venezuela Jersey .Sources told ESPN that Jefferson is poised to sign a contract with no options on July 7, when a league-wide moratorium on signings and trades is lifted.Jefferson spent the past three seasons in Charlotte but joins Brooklyn-bound?Jeremy Lin in leaving the Hornets on the first day of free agency.With a number of free agents on its roster, Charlotte has focused on re-signing Nicolas Batum ?-- which it quickly achieved Friday -- and retaining Marvin Williams.Team president Larry Bird has been trying to mold the Pacers into a faster, sleeker unit under new coach Nate McMillan.Bird also knows the value of having a reliable offensive threat in the post to get buckets when the game inevitably slows down, and thats where Jefferson comes in. In a league that has steadily gotten smaller and more versatile, the 31-year-old Jefferson is a throwback to the crafty, dominant post players of Birds era. And Big Al has Celtics green all over his game.Jefferson started his career with Birds old team before being traded to Minnesota, where he was tutored by Birds former teammate and Celtics Hall of Famer Kevin McHale, one of the best post players to ever play. Jefferson has exhibited some of the same trickery and creativity on the block that McHale made famous for those title-winning Celtics teams, and his unique skill set has helped keep him in demand as he has weathered some significant injuries.Jefferson missed the first 11 games of the 2015-16 season -- five games for a suspension for violating the leagues drug policy and six for a strained groin muscle. He played in two games before knee surgery sidelined him for 23 more.A veteran of 12 NBA seasons, Jefferson averaged 12 points and 6.4 rebounds over 23.3 minutes per game while appearing in 47 contests (18 starts) for the Hornets last season. He earned $13.5 million in the final year of a contract he signed before the 2013 season.He averaged 13.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 24 minutes per game in Charlottes first-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat.Information from ESPN staff writer Chris Forsberg and The Associated Press was used in this report.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Not long after they were drafted this spring by the Green Bay Packers, Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry got a call from the fiery leader of the defensive line.Mike Daniels was on the phone, and he needed them to get ready quickly.The Packers will be down a veteran up front early in the season because of the four-game suspension of Mike Pennell, so Clark and Lowry must be ready to play right away. That means there is no time to waste in training camp for the rookies.Im not going to lie to you, Daniels said. We need them ready like yesterday.After Daniels and Letroy Guion, the Packers will be short on experience up front to start the season.Veteran B.J. Raji is on a one-year hiatus from football. Pennel emerged as a competent backup in 2015, but the third-year player will miss the first four games for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy. Datone Jones has been moved to a hybrid pass-rushing role in which hell line up more like an outside linebacker.Clark, the Packers first-round pick out of UCLA, could emerge as a starter right away. Lowry, a fourth-round pick from Northwestern, could see significant snaps as a backup.Coach Mike McCarthy doesnt seem concerned, at least this early in camp. He said he has been satisfied with the progress of his rookies so far since the offseason program. There are five preseason games and to get the young guys in shape.Its part of the annual shuffling in Green Bay anyway, which surrounds a talented veteran core with a healthy complement of younger players.Two years ago, the youth was concentrated in the receiving corps; last year, it was cornerback.This training camp, the defensive line is front and center.Lets face it, this games about big men and the big men have to control the balance of what (happens) on the field and frankly in the locker room, too, McCarthy said. So the consistency of our youngg D-linemen will be critical to how that group grows. Eric Wood Canada Jersey. .In Daniels, McCarthy has an ideal mentor for the rookies. A fourth-round pick in 2012, Daniels has turned into a stabilizing and energetic presence up front.The Packers held their first practice with pads on Thursday. It had barely started when a brief scuffle broke out during a drill. Not surprisingly, Daniels was right in the middle, mixing things up with an offensive lineman.Hes naturally aggressive like that, four-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton said. Hes got that leadership quality too where he wants to get other people going. Get other people fired up, too.For Daniels, the tutoring of Clark and Lowry started months ago, in phone calls to the rookies a day or two after they were each drafted in late April.Theyre not putting any kind of pressure on me. Theyre just making sure, like, `Man, you need to be solid by Game 1 and we want you to be good, Clark said. Im taking all of that in. Im excited for it. I love it.Game notes House Speaker Paul Ryan, a lifelong Packers fan, attended practice with his family. The Wisconsin Republican talked football with team president Mark Murphy; met his favorite player, quarterback Aaron Rodgers; and addressed the team at midfield. Look, Im used to giving a lot of speeches, I was actually pretty nervous talking to these guys, Ryan said. As just a lifelong Packer fan, it was just a pretty cool experience, just to meet the team. ... The Packers signed WR Harvey Binford on Thursday. Binford played for the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League in 2015-16. ...
