Chad Ford (1:33 PM) They have a really bright future. Hollinger and I put them at No. 7 in our last Future Power Rankings a month ago and feel really good about it. I know the Pacers will try their best to convince Larry Bird to come back. Bird has done a great job in Indy. They want him back. If Bird retires, it seems like a no brainer that they'd give the job to David Morway. He's been a huge part of their rebuilding project and I think he'd stay the course. I think they'll take a look at some veteran coaches like Mike Brown but I wouldn't be surprised if Frank Vogel gets the job. You can't say enough about how well he coached this team and got everyone on the team to believe. As far as talent, they really need an athletic four who can rebound, defend and block shots. They also need a guard who can get his own shot off the dribble. Of course a star would be nice too ... but it doesn't look like there are any on the horizon right now. I think they're a 44 win team next year and then take another big step in 2012. Chad Ford 認為溜馬球團會極力挽留大鳥,如果他本人不願留任,現任GM Morway 很可能 會接下大鳥的總裁位置 (所以目前最重要的是大鳥自己的意願,至於GM,我希望不管是 Morway 留任或是 Kevin Pritchard 來接替都不錯) 在教練部分, Ford 認為溜馬會找 Mike Brown, 但要是 Vogel 繼續執教也不意外 (若把球員比喻成資產,Vogel目前比較像個務實的管帳員,有多少花多少,但他是不是個 能把資產升值的超級理財專員,現在還看不出來,另外我很好奇 Rivers 和 Adelman 是否會在溜馬的教練預期名單中?) 陣容上則欠缺一個運動力佳,能抓籃板和防守蓋鍋的大前鋒,以及能夠自行取分的後衛 當然能弄到個明星球員最好,但機會不大 (Okafor,Josh Smith 跟 Ellis, Mayo?!好像都吃不到..╮(﹋﹏﹌)╭.. 新秀的話Bismack Biyombo不知道選不選的到?) 預計溜馬明年有44勝的戰績,後年可以成長更多 (44勝在東區可是有第六或第七囉～) -- Every man suffers pain. Either the pain of hard work, or the pain of regret. -- from IND Pacers gym -- --
