Ex Pacers playing well, miss them?

Has anyone noticed that McBob and Mike Dunleavy are playing pretty well for their new teams? Murphy has been giving the lakers good min as a back up PF and McBob has been starting. Brandon Rush has been playing well to, 12 pts a game in 28 min and 4 rebs, and 2 blocks per in the early going. And TJ is doing backup duty in San Antonio.

I'd like to see those guys do well, I really wish we'd kept McRoberts and Dunleavy for the money they signed for in LA and Milwalkee respectively they are looking like bargins at their postitions. 8-)

Dunleavy is scoring 10 points per game on 32% shooting and plays 2 positions we really don't need more players at. McBob would be okay, but doesn't really play defense and that seems to be the type of team we've become at least early in the season. I wouldn't mind having McBob for the deal he signed with LA, but unless Dunleavy was okay with playing an emergency role off the end of the bench I don't see how we could effectively use him.

I have the same observation, it seems those ex-Pacers turned out to be good role players that's why teams got interested in them. James Jones, Maruis Daniels, Shawne Williams, just to add a few. They're good rotation guys.

I'm glad to see former players doing well, however, I don't really miss them.

Speaking of former players, Ike Diogu has signed with the Spurs. His 7th NBA team. You guys remember when Larry Bird called Diogu the biggest piece of the blockbuster trade that got us Dunleavy and Murphy?
