Pacers Don't Trade Tinsley, and Other Shocking Things with Pacers

Are you kidding me? Are you serious?

The Pacers didn't trade Jamaal. This made me ticked off and it made me write this article. False. I didn't get ticked off.

There were two articles that spoke to me when I was reading them. First, was the one by D. Michael Lee, who writes for LayupDrills.com. He wrote an article called Four Trades That Could Change The NBA Season.

He talked about Jamaal Tinsley being traded for the Heat's Haslem. I thought it would be a pretty good deal. I was looking forward to it.

Then there was an article by Sixty Feet, Six Inches. They wrote Feb. 19, 2009: A Horrible Day In Indiana Sports. They said that the Pacers didn't trade Tinsley.

Now I wasn't satisfied with this. Why would they do this? The Pacers already have a decent point guard in T.J. Ford. It surprised me miraculously.

Now the Pacers are in big trouble because I heard in the Sixty Feet, Six Inches article that Danny Granger could be out 10 to 21 days!

As a Pacers fan, I was just shocked. It's going to be tough because the Pacers are losing way too much now.

They have been 4-6 in their last 10 games so far. They are on a one-game losing streak, but it could get worse.

The Pacers literally had a good deal with Haslem being traded for Tinsley, like D. Michael Lee illustrated well in his article.

Tinsley hasn't made any contribution to the team this year. He was a superstar last year, but now he is just some guy getting paid for producing nothing this year, as it says right here.

I wish the Pacers could just do something. Oh yeah! Almost forgot.

The Pacers also don't have Mike Dunleavy. So that just brings a bigger hole to the  problem.

Without Dunleavy and Granger, the Pacers are pretty much screwed. Right now, the best chance they have is for Troy Murphy, T.J. Ford, Jamaal Tinsley (doubt it), Roy Hibbert, Marquis Daniels, and Brandon Rush to fix everything.

It's going to be a tough job, but I'm not the boss.

And that is the end of this chapter. That concludes my case.

Are you kidding me?
