If you're cruisin' these parts then you're fully aware that the NBA Draft is tonight with the Indiana Pacers currently slated to enter the fray with the 13th pick in the first round. I will be live blogging from the Pacers Draft Party tonight and sneaking in to say hi to JMV at The Pub beforehand. Here are a few links of interest while waiting for the festivities to begin:

• The Pacers' pick is. . .
  Mike Wells digs into the options facing Larry Bird in tonight's draft. Don' miss the draft discussion including Jeff Rabjohns on the side bar.
• Rumors and free agent workouts
  Mike blogs about rumors of the Pacers trading down, along with information on a few names the Pacers brought in earlier this week for free agent workouts. Earl Calloway, Anthony Tolliver and Nick Fazekas were among those players.
• Blockbuster less likely, but Bird considering deals
  Bruno offers up some trading options for the Pacers. In the end it will depend on how the draft plays out ahead of the 13th pick, but comments from Larry Bird and David Morway seem to indicate they'll be happy with the player they can take at 13.
• Larry Bird with JMV (audio). The pair talked about the draft, roster moves for the Pacers and French Lick.
