What is the sense you get with Jack? (*Pacers getting a C?)

Chriscross · Post #1 » by **Chriscross** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 7:52 pm

I am a Raptors fan and would love to get Jack but I get the feeling that he will be back in Indiana.

Has there been any talk about trading TJ Ford or do you guys think that the Pacers will be going with Ford as their starting point guard in the long-term. If I am a Pacers fan, I am just not sold on Ford yet and would rather have Jack.

Mikki Moore, Courtney Sims, Lorenzen Wright, Johan Petro, Fabricio Oberto, Rasho Nesterovic, Chris Mihm, Jamaal Magloire, Jason Collins, Jarron Collins, Sean Marks, Robert Swift, Adonal Foyle, Theo Ratliff, Raef LaFrentz, Calvin Booth... some other guys.

Some undrafted guys: Luke Zeller, Josh Heytvelt, Luke Nevill, Garret Siler

I think we just need a body for depth - I'd prefer someone young with some upside. Still, I'd rather have spent money keeping Jack than anything else this off-season. I suppose if TJ becomes an All-Star, it'll lessen the pain, but then we'll be hurting in a couple years anyway. Jack was a cheap long-term solution.

There are nothing but horrible Centers on the market right now.

Theo Ratliff (OLD!!)
Raef LaFrentz (NO!)
Johan Petro (NO!)
Robert Swift (NOOOO!!)
Jarron Collins & Jason Collins (added together, they still make a horrible C)
Jake Voshkul
Calvin Booth
Adonal Foyle
Saer Sene
Jamal Magloire
Chris Mihm
Rasho
Fabricio Oberto
Aaron Gray
Mikki Moore

There actually is ONE young Center that I wouldn't mind giving a shot

Ryan Hollins

He is restricted so Dallas could match our offer though.

it was hoopsworld, Oberto could be an option but did I mention it was hoopsworld

we are discussing the chemistry between Granger and Jack, are we making to much of it or does Granger actually see Jack as an important piece for the Pacers moving forward?

We were making reference to some comment Granger made at the end of the season about talking with Jack about what they need to do.

If we sign another white player (foreign born or not), this whole BS about Bird being biased is going to go national in a major way.

If we're signing a center, I'm hoping for Chris Wilcox.

I'd be pretty happy about that. I always thought of him as more of a PF though.

He's more of a PF isn't he? What about Courtney Sims?

Jump Jump
The Jack Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Jack will make you Jump Jump

Though, it might make us sad, now that Jack may be

Sailing
(Going) away
To where (he) always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry (him)
And soon (he) will be free

Just to cover all the bases.

Wilcox is more of a PF, although I think he play center in spot minutes/situation,having him play center for extended minutes is a bad idea.The center crop is atrocious. Dallas will definitely be matching any offer for Hollins now that they lost out on Gortat.
