IC Cold Links: Graham On Daniels; Sergeant Murtaugh Running With Pacers

by Tom Lewis on Sep 3, 2009 6:35 AM EDT in Indiana Pacers News

Here are a few links of interest, including Stevie on Quisy and a little Hollywood confusion at forward for the Pacers.

Sergeant Murtaugh playing forward for the Pacers
Look, I fully understand how these things happen but this one made me laugh. A note in a wide ranging column on a Louisiana site mentions the Wall Street Journal report (Arrghh!) on Danny Granger's batcave. Wait, Danny who? Marquis Daniels always referred to Granger as 'Hollywood' so I guess the mixing up Danny Granger and Danny Glover is understandable.

nice set of links

Funny how the top two overpaid guys are former-Pacers. It’s nice to only have two guys on that list for a change. Hell, a year and a half ago, we had a number of guys that could have gone on that list…

As for the whole stolen Batcave story, it’s interesting how these things work out. There’s been a decent rumble lately about blogs stealing newspapers’ stories. Sometimes it’s a quote but sometimes blogs will block-quote multiple paragraphs from a story to the point where there’s no need to read the original. Pretty interesting that it goes the other way too. And there really aren’t any consequences as far as I can tell for this sort of thing.

John Hollinger insider column at ESPN.com about pacers

Indiana: Note to the Pacers: Signing seven players who average two points a game isn’t the same as signing one player who averages 14. Indiana spent its offseason combing the league for 11th men, forking out a four-year, $11 million deal for Dahntay Jones and another $2.9 million for Earl Watson. Solomon Jones and Josh McRoberts were the other big offseason signings for the Pacers, who also picked up gritty but limited forward Tyler Hansbrough in the draft. Meanwhile, they let Jarrett Jack and Marquis Daniels walk to sign deals for roughly the same money; Jack alone will probably outproduce the five new players combined.

About the only piece of legitimately good news for Indy is that Mike Dunleavy is apparently recovering very nicely from a career-threatening knee injury. Plug him into last season’s roster and this was probably a playoff team. Alas, the same can’t be said for this year’s
