IC Cold Links: Pacers Offseason Workload Ramps Up

Here are some links of interest as the Pacers begin working in earnest to fill out their roster for the upcoming season:

• Pacers' priorities start from within
  Mike Wells reports on Larry Bird's comments yesterday as the Pacers head into the free agent signing period.

  "It's a three-year plan and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize any of these young guys because they are going to be good," Bird said. "If I can add to that core through a trade, I probably will."

• Future of Pacers franchise showcased in summer
  Bruno's latest Caught in the Web delves into the summer work set to begin this week and finds Larry Bird and David Morway excited about seeing what their young core can do together.
• One-on-One With Pacers' Danny Granger -- NBA FanHouse
  Danny Granger made the media rounds yesterday humping his newly minted association with Team EAS. Along with a few radio appearances was this interview with the FanHouse.
• Danny Granger also checked in with JMV (audio).
• 670 The Score - Boers and Bernstein Interviews Danny Granger
  Danny Granger dropped in on this Chicago radio show as part of his media rounds yesterday. Pretty funny.
• Is Marquis Daniels still an option for Indiana?
  Andrew Pema at RealGM explores the possibility of the Pacers signing Marquis Daniels at a more reasonable salary to fit under the cap.
• Pistons fire Michael Curry, inquire about Avery Johnson
  Central Division rival, Detroit fired their head coach Michael Curry yesterday. My initial thought was that Bill Laimbeer was dialed in to take over, but apparently that's not the case according to information dripping out from the organization. Suddenly a huge transition year for the Pistons and Joe Dumars.
• Daryl Morey's Facebook Request - TrueHoop
  I'm sure the Pacers would love to add Marcin Gortat to the roster this summer but somehow, I don't see Larry Bird using social media as a recruiting tool.
