How happy is everybody with the performance of Pacers FO? Are these the guys to lead moving forward?

Generally impressed so far. The JO trade was perhaps the best that we could have gotten at that stage, even though TJ has been less than explosive.

As for the draft, Rush and Hibbert look to have some decent game, so it's hard to fault those acquisitions. As for Hansbrough, time will tell I guess.

We've heard that they're very happy that "The Plan" is still on track, so that's a bonus. I'd like to reserve overall judgement though until we find out what is to happen with all our expiring contracts/capspace.

Hard to look at any move they have done and be skeptical, yeah buying out Tinsley sucked but I think we all understand the reasoning behind that.

I hate to use the poker analogy but it is true, all you can do is make the best decisions at the time and let the chips fall where they may. I think for the most part Bird and company have done this.
