[From the FanPosts, you gotta love Rick's spirit to not give in to the tired narrative that no star player in the NBA would consider joining a solid Pacers team, so I heartily endorse this effort. After all, when Deron Williams was a free agent, er recruit coming out of high school he did choose Champaign, IL. - TL]

Hey guys, I posted this in the comments of another post as well, but I wanted to create a separate FanPost as well. So, I keep hearing Williams wouldn't want to come here, but why not try?? He would take us to another level and we/he could compete for a championship for years to come. So, if he doesn't know much about Indy or just isn't even considering it, let's get his attention!!! This is all assuming Bird is planning to at least try to go after him, but let's show our support for this team and him as a player. I created a facebook page to act as a petition to show Williams our support...if you are on board, head to this page and "like" it!

Thanks!
