AllenIverson#1fan Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/hinrich_playfilegallery4.jpg An already thin point guard market dried up further on Monday night when the Cavaliers acquired Ramon Sessions in a multi-player trade with the Timberwolves. In need of a point guard, with little-to-no money to spend, the Pacers are counting on a trade to bring them the passer they have desperately needed for quite some time. Minnesota’s deal with Cleveland takes two names off the list of potential targets -- Sessions and Jonny Flynn. The Timberwolves signed free-agent Luke Ridnour earlier this month, a move that general manager David Kahn admitted would lead to a trade of either Sessions or Flynn. The Pacers appeared to be an ideal trade partner, but that’s now of course a moot point. As their roster currently stands, the Pacers will likely open the season with second-round pick Lance Stephenson or the often-shunned T.J. Ford as their starting point guard. A.J. Price can be a serviceable backup, but his knee leaves question marks. Looking through the remainder of options that might be available via trade (without even beginning to dream about Chris Paul), here are Indiana’s best opportunities ranked in order of plausibility:Read more: http://pacers.realgm.com/articles/197/20100727/point_guard_options_decreasing_for_pacers Edited July 30, 2010 by Real Deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get into trouble for not posting links, or posting full articles. ------- As for the Pacers having to find a point, they might as well look into Calderon. Jack needs to be the starter in Toronto, and I'm sure the Raptors would have no problem with dealing Jose to the Pacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Jose and Heat pick for TJ Ford, or Foster+Solomon, or expirings in general, they have a ton, works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't think Jose would be any better than TJ Ford at the Pacers given that both of these players split minutes with Jarrett Jack and that the Pacers' ideal PG would be someone like Tony Parker who can run the floor.

NJNJ Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Pacers Not Giving Up On Point Guard The Pacers continue to search for a point guard. "You like to see if we can get something done, especially at the point position," Larry Bird said. "We're talking to a lot of teams; there are some teams interested in what we have. We told people we weren't going to be in any hurry to do something." Indiana has been told Darren Collison and George Hill are not available. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/68533/20100805/pacers_not_giving_up_on_point_guard_search/#ixzz0vkMdbtGe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I am surprised they enquired about George Hill but really, they got pieces for a nice PG. Brandon Rush/Danthay Jones/Mike Dunleavy can all go for a decent PG. If nothing happens, they can always start TJ Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
