IC Cold Links: Hansbrough Ready To Drop Nickname

The newest Indiana Pacer is ready to get a fresh start with his NBA career. Hansbrough told Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star that he wants his collegiate nickname "Psycho T" to stay back at the University of North Carolina. The story is a great read that gives fans more perspective and insight into Hansbrough's personality and quirky nature.

The Tyler Hansbrough marketing machine has already started at Pacers.com, where a video and season-ticket campaign use Hansbrough to entice fans to follow the 2009-10 team.
The Charlotte Observer notes that Hansbrough was part of many ACC players who did well on draft night.
Hansbrough and Gerald Henderson are called the biggest winners of the draft by the News-Observer.
John Schuhmann of NBA.com analyzes how all of the recent trades will affect the standings in the upcoming season.
BigBlueShoe's fanpost linked us to a story that contains a very small and brief snippet about the Pacers looking to trade T.J. Ford. The original rumor comes from Yahoo! Sports writer Adrian Wojnarowski, who cites league sources for the inside information.

I know it's not mentioned here... but

what’s the word on J Jack? I’m curious how contract negotiations are going.

Nothing specific on negotiations

I expect Jack to be given a qualifying offer and if he can find a better deal on the open market, then the Pacers will have a chance to match it and if they can afford to, I think they will. Who knows? Jack may end up taking the one year qualifying offer. We should find out where this is headed this week.
