Signing A.J. Price Next Task For Pacers; T.J. Ford Dials Up Fans

The to do list is nearly complete for Larry Bird and David Morway.

Now that we're officially into September, it appears that the Pacers have one task remaining since the sign-and-trade deal with the Celtics never materialized. Second round pick, A.J. Price needs a contract to complete the 14 man roster the Pacers desire heading into the season.

According to Mr. Coons (question 98), the Pacers need to tender a contract offer to Price by September 6th to keep him from becoming a free agent. Now he may already have an offer and the two sides are working out the details, but if not it the offer should be on the way this week. Considering Jim O'Brien has repeatedly referred to Price as the potential steal of the draft, there's no way the team can let Price slip away without giving him a chance. Of course, as James White taught us, there's no reason to get too excited and over-commit when it isn't necessary.

Check out a few links of interest after the jump including a few reasons why teams are smart to wait on signing second round picks, along with T.J. Ford (Tweet J. Ford?) connecting with fans through his Twitter account.

T.J. Ford

I’d do that, but then knowing my luck, he’d probably call me and it might be the most awkward conversation in recorded history. “You go fast and dribble ball. I have video game with you on the cover. Pacers be REAL good this year. I stood next to your cutout at Conseco before game one time. I was >:( when we drafted Hansbrough, but now I not so mad. U rock, k?” Not to mention I’m totally illiter-twitt so I have no clue what I’m doing on there.

The seasons expectations article seems afraid to really bite on the Dunleavy factor, but I’m going to drink that Kool-Aid and say that Dunleavy’s health gets us into the postseason.

In a related matter, I was also informed that Hooters Magazine gave the Pacers some quality props in their NBA Preview. Take it with a grain of salt if you will coming from a restaurant chain that isn’t even known for its food, but I guess they like our chances better than Detroit and most other print/blog media. Excited to get things tipped off.
