Back from My Off-season
Well I went on my off-season break…rather abruptly I must add and I apologize for not warning you. Well with the one month off. There hasn’t been a lot that has changed with the Pacers situation until today.
Herb Simon supported Larry Bird’s claim that Jamaal Tinsley will no longer be a Pacer. (Finally!) This was already stated by Coach O’Brien as well. It looks like Tinsley will not play for Indiana next year, there will be no buyout of his contract, but Tinsley will not be sitting at home either. Those three add up to the Pacers having to trade Jamaal. The asking price will be very low since the Pacers are stating all of the above.
The Pacers schedule also came out today with a tough start to the season at Detroit, home v. Boston, home v. Pheonix and then at Cleveland. I like a tough start better than an easy one like the Washington, Miami, Memphis start they had last year. Nothing out of the ordinary in this schedule.
The next episode will be coming out this week!!

Jamaal was good as a player. I think the coaching staff is to blame for his consistent injuries because they played him too many minutes a game. But that’s old stuff - it’s time to move on and start fresh. My guess is that in order for us to trade him, we will package him with Rasho to acquire a good PF. I don’t know who is available, but that’s my guess for Larry’s plan. Many may disagree, but i think we should trade Dunleavy as well. I know he is popular with the fans and he just came off of his best season, but now that we have B.Rush, who i think is a better 2-guard, Dunleavy will be upset coming off the bench. Since B.Rush is a rookie, it is expected for him to backup Mike. I am definitely excited about this season. Let the countdown begin for the departure of J. Tinsley.
