Ike has failed with Two Poor Teams- why would Houston wanta player who has shown they he is certainly not a decent player.

Diogu is bench material. I would rather take a chance on one McRoberts or Fazekas.

This trade must be on. Now way do we need Aaron Brooks. Indy must be trading Tinsley.

Do not confuse Moreyball with moneyball.

The trade fell through.

Rumors of major trade talks abounded but the Pacers experienced a relatively quiet NBA Draft night Thursday. Hopeful of acquiring a first-round pick to use on Rice sharpshooter Morris Almond, the team couldn't complete that deal but did send a 2009 second-round pick to Miami for Croatian center Stanko Barac, who had been drafted No. 39 overall by the Heat.

Futher down, the story says....

Almond, the nation's No. 3 scorer (26.4) for Rice, was taken by Utah with the 25th pick in the first round.

"There was a guy we targeted in the first round and we thought we'd have an opportunity to get him but he was taken a little bit before the pick we were going to get," Bird said. "… If we could get in there and get the guy we wanted we'd be happy. It didn't happen but we're still going to have shooters and we'll get them this summer."

Asked if Almond was the target, Bird smiled and said, "That's a very good guess."

Though Almond got away, Bird reiterated his pledge to add perimeter threats to the roster.

"I didn't say we'd get a shooter in the first round," he said. "I said we will get a shooter on this team before the summer's out, maybe multiple shooters. We need shooting on this team and we will get shooters."

It seems that we were drafting Morris Almond, to do our draft day trade for Ike Diogu to be our starting PF. Aaron Brooks was plan B.
