IC Cold Links: Pacers Remain In Mix Among NBA Trade and Free Agency Rumors

There is a chance he could fall in love with playing here…if not we can still offer one year and like 24 mil more than anyone else.

At that point if he is either a magnet for other FA or you flip him in a sign and trade with almost anyone in the league

George should be untouchable at this point.

Danny shouldn’t be “untouchable” but if we are trading for Rondo, he should be. Makes no since to get a point guard like Rondo if he has no weapons to pass the ball too.

Heres hoping we stay put (+Foster), sign Nene/Kirilenko or Landry/Young (overpay if necesssary). With Paul, Collission, Hansbrough and Lance progressing as planned the need for overhauls should be left to the DESPERATE!!!

If New York Amnesty’s Billups to make room for Chandler with the intention of making a run at Chris Paul, do we have the trade assets to bring Amare to Indiana as our 4? Would it be worth it? Analysis please…

Oh well I could care less. Also I’m kind of surprised TJ Ford next to Jamaal Tinsley quite possibly the worst PG in Pacers history is going to sign with the Spurs. I thought after the Lakers showed interest in Delonte West, Ford was for sure going to go to the Heat. But I guess the Heat may be looking at Shannon Brown who knows. And if I’m wrong on Dunleavy being the first Pacer to sign with a new team I don’t care, because I knew the first Pacer to sign with a new team was going to be him or Ford. Either way don’t expect either one of those 2 (Ford and Dunleavy) to receive any re-signing offers from the Pacers what so ever.

Also it kind of seems like this trade just like all the other trades Bird tried to work out for Brandon Rush could fall through. Oh well it’s not like the Pacers trading Rush is a must.

The New Orleans are complete idiots. They had a chance to keep DC AND Marcus Thornton and trade CP3 for a super star. But instead they choose to trade they young talent. A year later they are forced to trade CP3 for some young talent. Idiots!

LANDRY at 1/2!!!

Evidently Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated is saying that we picked him up. Evidently he last played with Portland before sustaining a knee injury. Interesting.

I like those guys, but nobody currently on the Pacers is that good.
Also interesting that the Hornets are interested in Granger, since they already have Ariza. Maybe because Granger is from the area?
Hansbrough, Collison and a pick for Rondo seems like a good deal for me. I’d also be willing to send Granger and Collison, if that’s what NO preferred. Okafor could be a fit with the Pacers, if the Hornets wanted to send his contract our way.

There are some untouchables on this roster. Notably the younger players who still have room to improve while still being paid on their rookie contracts. Granger should not be considered untouchable. Eventually Bird is going to realize that while Granger is a good player, he plays the same position as Paul George. Yes they played Paul George out of position last season and experienced some success. But eventually they should move him to the starting small forward position. Granger has offers good trade value in potential deals because he is still young and is certainly not overpaid. If the Pacers are going to make the kind of move that will make them contenders in the Eastern Conference, they will have to make a sacrifice somewhere. Everyone knows the Pacers needs. No need to discuss them further. They should be looking to trade Collison, Granger, and Posey’s expiring contract in order to address those needs.
