    Pacer Trade rumors only

    Please only post trade rumors related to the pacers. as the trade deadline approaches, there are sure to rumors related to the pacers.

    below is not really a rumor but is related to trading Ford. this guy has to have some value for some team. if other teams know we will try to buyout ford, will they simply wait and try to get him at a lower salary? if its a team competing and is over the cap then i can see a trade made for Ford. im guessing ford still has some value to teams.

    if there are any updates for the pacers feel welcome to post them here.


    The Pacers have long been trying to trade T.J. Ford, but time is running out as Thursday's trade deadline nears.

    If they aren't able to trade the point guard, they'll offer him a buyout for the second time in less than a year.

    Ford's contract is expiring, which might make him attractive to some teams.

    He has played a total of 10 minutes in the past 16 games.

    "By making the decision (of sitting me), I would hope that's the case," he said last month about being traded. "I don't see why it would be best for me to be here the whole year. That's their call. Either way it goes, I'm here and I'm going to still stay ready because anything can happen at any given moment."

        I imagine if we do a see a trade, it will probably be moving TJ Ford for another spare part big man like Nazr Mohammed (not necessarily him) but that type of player. Right now, the roster could probably use another veteran big man for depth. Foster's balky back is an issue, and I don't trust Solomon Jones.

          I hope we can pick up an extra big man, no matter who it is, by only trading our unwanted players (Dunleavy, Ford, Solomon Jones).

            I wonder how many will come in this thread hoping one of the responses is an actual Pacers rumor, only to find out there is only conversation about there not being any rumors?

              Rather then wait for the off season to sign someone to a big contract, why not trade expiring contracts now and get someone acclimated to our players and possibly a playoff push to maybe the sixth seed. Your going to pay the money anyways. Bring a big name player now.

                A lot. I was a victim of this.

                    Because for some reason, this year expiring contracts aren't as coveted as much as they normally are.

                        Well if we trade Solo we would be getting a replacement big and not an extra big.

                            I'd consider it extra. Solo is so bad that I forgot he was even on the roster still.

                              A contender might take a gamble on him.
