Pacers may trade for extra pick
The Pacers have the 11th pick in Thursday's NBA draft -- and know who they want -- and if Larry Bird has his way, they'll add another pick later in the first round. Citing the depth of talent in this draft, the Pacers president said he's looking to make a trade that would give the team a second pick. "There's going to be a heck of a player at 11, a guy that can help us, no question about that," Bird said Thursday in his first public comments since draft-eligible players began individual workouts. "We've talked to a number of teams about different scenarios, and we've got some things in the works. "If we can get another pick, it'd be just great. . . . We'd like to have another pick in this draft, and that's what we're trying to get right now."

Get Tinsley out. I'll give you our second round pick if you take Tinsley. There have been enough bar brawls here.
The NY pick would make the most sense to move up because of Walsh being GM. I could see O'Neal ending up there.

The Pacers are a mess. I love Larry Legend, but I'm not sure he's cut out for this job.

Pacers are a mess. This all started with the Brawl at the Palace. Anyone remember they were the best team in the NBA at the time? All downhill since then.

Pacers were a very proud and solid franchise just a few seasons ago. Then the brawl and the non-stop ridiculous movies have tainted everything.

Is the top 12 as much a lock as the top two? Clearly Rose and Beasley are 1 and 2. After that, it seems like the next ten, in one order or another, are unquestionable, which to me means that there are 12 pretty good picks in this draft, notwithstanding surprises and "upsides."
Can anybody see a scenario that puts anyone in front of these twelve (not in any particular order)?:
Rose Beasley Mayo Bayless Lopez Randolph Alexander Love
Gordon Gallinari Westbrook Augustin

Im the biggest pacer fan out there and i have watched litterally EVERY pacer game for the past 3 years and been to a few and there is no way the pacers are ever going to trade danny granger unless it's for kobe or lebron. Granger will be an all-star next season. The pacers should just pick DJ at #11 and DJ White at #41 , trade up maybe if they can and get Kevin love
If anybody has noticed the notorious "Heat Fan" has reportedly changed his name to "fannation owner" becuase he is harrased about the bogus trade offers he creates on nearly every article that only help the heat and every body is annoyed by it

The Pacers aren't going to trade up. They'll keep 11 and trade for a later first round pick if they can. Augustin is a great pick for Indiana. I hope he's there for you. it should work out perfectly.

As a pacers fan i hope that they do get another 1st rounder and maybe get a big like darrell arthur or maybe a roy hibbert (not sure on his upside).... at 11 we HAVE to get a point guard. I hope that Russell Westbrook falls to us cause i think je has more potential than the 5-11 Augustin, but DJ would be a mice fit for this team to. Whatever the pacers do they cannot get rid of danny granger..hes the only one on our team that the fans even care for. Get rid of Oneal and tinsely and try (i dont know hoiw they would do this ) get rid of murphy...build around dunleavy at the 2 granger at the 3 our 11th pick which will be a point gaurd...and the trade back into the first round for a big man......o and y does david harrison play for my team
P.S. I like jeff fosters hustle, but we could probaly package him to a contender who needs another big like hime who gives it his all..
