Most NBA front offices slow down in August.
Not the Indiana Pacers'.
Team president Larry Bird said the Pacers are not resting or relaxing until
they find
a veteran point guard.
"You like to see if we can get something done, especially at the point
position," 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."
More than 20 point guards have been traded or signed this NBA offseason,
further limiting the Pacers' options. The Pacers likely will have to trade
for a point guard because they don't have the money or roster space to sign
one.
Cross Darren Collison of New Orleans and George Hill of San Antonio off your
wish list. Officials from both teams told the Pacers they aren't available.
All-Stars Chris Paul and Tony Parker never were an option.
When it's all said and done, embattled point guard T.J. Ford might be running
the show again next season.
Here's a look at other possibilities:
Jose Calderon, Toronto
Calderon is a perfect fit for coach Jim O'Brien's system. He can shoot the
3-pointer and distribute the ball. The catch is his contract: three years,
more than $29 million.
Jarrett Jack, Toronto
Jack had his best season as a Pacer, starting 53 games and appearing in all
82 during the 2008-09 season. He's familiar with the system, and the Pacers
enjoyed playing with him.
Jose Juan Barea, Dallas
Barea likes to push the ball and he can score, as he played alongside Jason
Kidd in the backcourt at times. He averaged nearly 20 minutes a game on a
team that finished with the second-best record in the Western Conference last
season.
Plus he would be under contract for only one season.
T.J. Ford, Pacers
Ford has been effective at times and might be the best available option
remaining. Ford and O'Brien have a toxic relationship. O'Brien has demoted
Ford to the bench each of the past two seasons.
The two might have to mend fences. Barring a trade, it appears Ford will be
starting at the point for the third consecutive season.
At least until O'Brien decides to make a switch.
