Here are a few items of interest while the Los Angeles Lakers celebrate their 15th NBA championship:

Morway discusses Dunleavy and planning for the future
Hoopsworld refers to Dunleavy's potential return as a dilemma since Brandon Rush and Danny Granger are already set to start at the wings positions. I'd call it more a miracle than a dilemma if the Pacers are juggling minutes between the three next year. Plenty of burn to go around. Great comments from Morway, including planning for this draft with the future in mind as opposed to just next season.

Great info

I like the details Morway provides on Dunleavy’s surgery. Given the info that Dunleavy had in his blog, I didn’t believe that he would be out as long as JOB had initially thought. They still don’t have a return date on him, but I would bet quite a bit on him returning still this calendar year.

I also like the write-up of Pacers draft picks. Some picks have really been criticised heavily in the past, but if you take a minute and look who other teams have picked directly behind the Pacers (and not focus on the one lucky pick somewhere down the line that turned out to be great), you can justify also the apparently “bad” picks for the Blue and Gold.
