Conrad Brunner's latest post discusses all of the offseason chatter the Pacers have generated thus far.

Thanks to J.E. Skeets at Ball Don't Lie for serving as the carny master.

Pacers.com posted individual interviews with Brandon Rush, Roy Hibbert, Jarrett Jack, and T.J. Ford as part of a "Get to Know" series.

Considering what Jim O'Brien preaches, Jarrett Jack just seems like a perfect fit. I'm not saying he's going to be an All-Star guard, but having a hard-nosed, reliable utility guard will be real nice. I see him as a "glue guy" on the floor, in practice and in the locker room. Something the Pacers desperately need.

ESPN has an article making a Prep Basketball Tourney using players hometowns, and they had the audicity to leave out Indianapolis. Now I know this doesn't fit the subject of the blog, but I felt they were making a big mistake and wanted to bring it to the attention of fellow Hoosiers.

RaptorsHQ was all over J.O.'s press conference. Earlier in the week I answered some questions about J.O. which they included in this post. Really, it wasn't hard to figure out what J.O. would tell the good folks of Toronto upon his arrival.

Former Pacer Jonathan Bender, at 27 years old, is helping rebuild low-income housing in post-Katrina New Orleans. Hat-tip to Arsenalist for the original link.

The Pacers brought in another point guard prospect (Sean SIngletary from Virginia) and a big (Marreese Speights from Florida) to workout. Chris Douglas-Roberts from Memphis had to cancel and plans to come in later.

The Pacers brought in a fresh batch of draft prospects Monday, including George Hill from Broad Ripple High and IUPUI. KU standout and Kareem's younger brother, Brandon Rush was also in. Video interviews for both guys are available.

Ryan Anderson (Cal), Pat Calathes (St. Joe's), and Jonathan Wallace (Georgetown) were also in on Monday. Anderson is an intruiguing player that would be a nice fit with JOB's system but he'll probably be gone by the 41st pick.

This story offers some background information on DJ Augustin that will have you rooting for the kid whether he ends up with the Pacers or not.
