|
| The Pacers offered Jamaal Tinsley to the Heat for Udonis Haslem but were turned down, according to the Indianapolis Star. Indiana is hoping to trade for or sign a power forward, and they would like to deal Tinsley now with T.J. Ford in tow. |
Our View: The Pacers are confident they'll be able to deal Jamaal somewhere with so many teams looking for a point guard. |
|
|
|
| Brandon Rush has signed his rookie contract with the Pacers, according to the Associated Press. The contract will pay the thirteenth overall pick $1.5 million this season. |
Our View: Rush can score, and he is also a quality defender, making it likely he will see quality minutes in his rookie campaign, though it is questionable if they will be plentiful enough for him to make an impact on fantasy teams. |
|
|
|
| Center Roy Hibbert , the seventeenth pick in the NBA draft, has signed a contract with the Indiana Pacers, that will pay him about $1.2 million his first year, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Hibbert will not add a lot of offense to the Pacers, and he will have to fight for playing time with three veterans, so his fantasy stock is not high. |
|
|
|
| The Pacers have acquired rookie center Roy Hibbert's (Georgetown) draft rights from Toronto in the multi-player deal headlined by Jermaine O'Neal, according to TSN. |
Our View: Hibbert has potential to develop into a strong starter in the NBA, but will compete with Jeff Foster, David Harrison and Rasho Nesterovic (who was also part of the trade) for playing time as a rookie. |
|
|
|
| Rasho Nesterovic has officially been traded to the Pacers in the multi-player package that sent Jermaine O'Neal to the Raptors, according to TSN. |
Our View: Indiana has a surplus of talented big men on the roster, so Nesterovic's minutes should be limited, but he is still considered a quality addition to the team. |
|
|
|
| T.J. Ford is officially a member of the Pacers, according to TSN. The Pacers also acquire Rasho Nesterovic in the multi-player deal that shipped Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto. |
Our View: Ford is not going to be a heavy scorer in Indiana, but displays strong passing skills and should hold down the role as the starting point guard. |
|
|
|
| The Rocky Mountain News reports that the Nuggets are looking at David Harrison , a free-agent center who played for the Pacers last year.
Harrison averaged 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds last season, and 5.0 and 2.9 in his first four seasons with the Pacers.
|
Our View: The report noted that the Nuggets were one of several teams interested in the free agent, but it appears that Denver could get a home town discount. Harrison played his college ball in Boulder, at the University of Colorado. |
