Wells: Shawne Williams To Dallas

by Tom Lewis on Oct 10, 2008 4:18 PM EDT in Indiana Pacers News

As duke dynamite mentioned in the FanPosts, Mike Wells is reporting that the Pacers have agreed to trade Shawne Williams to the Dallas Mavericks for Eddie Jones a couple of second round picks and $1.8 million in cash.

Shawne appeared to have the same ol' game so far in camp so his minutes were going to be hard to find. The cash will nearly cover the $1.97 mil Eddie Jones is owed this season which gives the Pacers the option of releasing Jones to free up a roster spot.

Shawne gets to reunite with Rick Carlisle who obviously likes what Shawne has to offer.

So the worst case scenario is Shawne for two second rounders. Not bad as Larry Bird and David Morway work to acrue assets, those second round picks are nice to pull out when dealing with other teams.

Now if only Tinsley can go

Great move for the Pacers, looks like they’re just a few well-placed moves away from being in the conversation again.

This might help move Tinsley

A couple more assets to consider.

Good Trade

I’ll take draft picks for a troublemaker who doesn’t play that often any day. Throw in Jones and money and it’s even better.

Not that they couldn't renounce his rights anyway

but dealing Williams takes his cap hold off for the offseason…
