IC Cold Links: Pacers rest of during All-Star Break

by Rick Wagner on Feb 18, 2011 8:26 AM EST in Indiana Pacers News

Not too much going on in the world of links with All-star weekend upon us and no Pacers involved. However, the Carmelo Anthony saga seems to be building steam which should make for an interesting domino affect as it seems everyone else is waiting for this conclusion for other trades. There is a nice Larry Bird interview from Pacers.com, in which he gives no hints one way or the other if something will happen before the trade deadline.

After the jump, check out the links of the day including Reggie Miller's snub (check out Tom's article regarding this here), a nice article on Tyler Hansbrough's rapid progression under Coach Frank Vogel, and others...

It'd be nice to turn some of our expirings into some draft picks.

The team’s on an upward trend and I hope that continues after the break. Speaking of the all-star game, I expect it to be pointlessly boring with a high score and Blake Griffin will win the dunk contest because all the others look to be real boring to watch. I am totally bummed that I have to wait until Tuesday to see the Pacers play again.

ditto

but I don’t find it likely :(

Yeah.

I don’t really think anyone wants Ford all that much. I could see Foster or Dunleavy moving, but even that seems unlikely…. I’d still give Rush away.

We have too many SG's

I would love to trade Rush, Dunleavy, or D. Jones just to get rid of the log jam and get something back.

I want to keep Foster just so I never have to see Solomon Jones play again.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Ford, Posey, S. Jones, or Rush have any value whatsoever

Personally

I would like to keep D. Jones because he has an awesome attitude and he can really defend. He’s had as surprising offense ever since he came here too. I agree that they have virtually no value, only Rush really and I’d pay the other team to take him.
