Bird Talks Trade

by Tom Lewis on Jan 9, 2008 6:32 AM EST in Indiana Pacers News

Appears I'm not the only one with trade thoughts on my mind. Pacers Notebook questioned Larry Joe Legend on the topic.

"Will we do anything? I don't know," Bird said. "Obviously teams are trying to strengthen what they have. We're not looking to get rid of any core players right now, but you never know."

"You never know" with LJL means everyone's in play. Where the Pacers stand now, they really need a back up point guard and cap relief. I know, not too exciting when you think about putting together a big trade. I think we'll find out just how serious J.O. is about playing for a title-contending team because he'll have to take a financial hit at some point in order to move. Otherwise he'll stay right here to collect the final two max years on his contract. With the role he's currently playing, that would stunt any potential growth of the Pacers under O'B.

Granger....

Sometimes granger seems like hes ready to be a big time player, than shrinks away for a few games...you think hell be able to be "the man" for a team consistently? i change my mind on it every day....As for JO i couldnt even begin to imagine what teams are willing to give up for him, but recent talk about Tracy McGrady coming here is fine by me...and as for last nights game, didnt get to watch it yet, onyl the first (disgusting) quarter, but i couldnt help but notice in the box score -->Indiana 17 assists/25 turnover Utah 27 assists/17 turnovers....thats never good.
