PrintAs pointed out yesterday, the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks are discussing a Brandon Rush + 15th pick for the Bucks' pick at 10. There could be fillers or others involved in that rumor, but at this point....it's a rumor. Hibbert has been involved in trade rumors for a slightly higher pick, the Minnesota Timberwolve's pick at #2. However, Larry Bird shot this down very quickly in his interviews yesterday (see link below for complete interviews).
There will be a dozen or so other rumors that circulate and some will have some momentum and others may just be ideas thrown out there. We will try to keep things up to date and continue to update Indycornrows with rumors/news. Great job on the fanposts with updating on current rumblings going on! Should be an exciting 35 hours or so!
After the jump, check out the links of the day, including rumors of the San Antonio Spurs looking into trading Tony Parker...

hmm....
As pointed out yesterday, the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks are discussing a Brandon Rush + 15th pick for the Bucks’ pick at 10.
Wouldn’t have one problem with that trade quite frankly. We already have a crowded wing and rush is well, rush
Just wonder who we’d get there though
I would like this only...
If we drafted NOT Jimmer at 10, but Alec Burks…I think this dude is legit and be a great shooter coming off the bench. If we don’t do this and have the 15th pick….I’d love Jimmer, just think he’s a reach at 10.

Jimmer will be gone before ten
It seems SAC and Phoenix as well as everybody else and President Obama wants Jimmer. We have all become “Jimmer’ised” With the Pacers having the ten spot means a few more opprotunities other than Brooks or K. Thompson..
***Forever Grunge...Man!***
Everything I've read says the Sacramento coaches aren't sold on Jimmer
And Phoenix and Utah are the biggest threats to take him before we pick. This trade seems specifically tailored to draft him.
"You're hitting the wrong person. Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest?"
Come visit The Fantasy Ninjas. We'd love to hear from you.
A lot of teams like Jimmer
But Chad Ford says he’s not #1 on anyone that high’s draft board, more of a backup plan
KEEP COACH FRANK
Nope
and Utah won’t take him at #3… not until their 12th.

I think it would be kind of a bummer to move up to #10 (thus losing Rush) and not get Jimmer or K. Thompson.
I’ve heard Burks mentioned for us at #10, but I am wondering if his turning down our workout invite will make that less likely.

Tony Parker
Since the Spurs are willing to trade him how bout our 15, Rush, Collison. Im positive the Spurs wouldnt go with that..maybe we toss in Tyler/Rush and the 15? I KNOW he will be 30 at the end of next season but the way point guards are these days he has 8 -10 more yrs left…hahahaha. But seriously.
PG Parker, Collison
SG George, Lance, Jones
SF Granger, Draft pick/Free agent
PF R. Evans, Draft pick/JBob
C Big Roy, Jermaine (If its true that Boston would trade him for a 2n round), Foster
***Forever Grunge...Man!***
no to parker
not a real point guard (can’t really pass all that well), and is horrid on D. he’s also getting old and a lot of his game is based off of his speed.
Harper's on Miller, McKey, gets in to Miller for the win and...
Hail to the Orange.
Hail to the Blue.
Hail Alma Mater,
Ever so true.
We love no other,
So let our motto be
Victory, Illinois, Varsity.

I think we are at the tipping point for the Pacers. A solid move can make us a serious playoff team, or a wrong move can see us forever being a borderline playoff/lotto bound team.
Let’s see how Bird does heading through the draft and free agency (as well as next year where there should be some big names available.
And it's now my sig

burks or singleton please
if we move up to 10

Id be happy if we got the Bucks washing machine for Rush at this point.
