I noticed in this article Tinsley, Harrison, Rush, and Owens are not listed on here. Remarks on JO seem almost default. Makes me feel like he's not going to be here.

Yep, I figured the writing was on the wall for all the guys he failed to mention, and this looks to only confirm it. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if one of Harrison or Rush end up returning depending on the price.

Nothing real eye-dropping in this article, but I like how O'Brien said he wants Danny to be the go-to guy, that obviously puts a lot of confidence as well as responsibility onto our budding star.

Also, learned some good things about Stephen Graham. He's the perfect third string swingman in my opinion. Just a gym-rat, that works out, and brings a lot of energy into the locker room. He may not play many minutes, but that type of attitude rubs off on others and only helps to better preparation.

I love that Tinsley and Harrison were not mentioned, I'm a little bummed he said nothing about Rush though.

i honesty l don't care for rush or his personality. also i don't think he's worth more than what we are already paying him. from the little i saw from graham i like to see him get those minutes instead of rush anyway

Yeah I agree, besides his streaky jump shot, Rush didnt bring a great deal to the table. I am completely on board with giving Graham his minutes.

Well, technically, we're not paying him anything anymore. He's a free agent, and I think that's about the biggest reason that Harrison and Owens weren't mentioned as well. They're our only free agents. Graham already had his option picked up and is on the roster for next year. O'Brien already said that Tinsley isn't in our long-term plans anymore.

Tinsley is the only one who is not a free agent -- so his absence is either to indicate that he won't be here next year or this "oversight" was to try and fool the fairweather fan that Tinsley isn't even a Pacer anymore.

Nah, Jim O'Brien has already said immediately when the season ended that Tinsley is not one of the "core players" because he cannot be counted on health-wise.

I noticed the same thing about Tinsley not being mentioned. I really think management want him gone. Now its just wait and see if we can trade him and for what.

THe others weren't mentioned probably as they were free agents, although I do hope we can keep Rush (unless we draft Westbrook).
