Trade

Larry Legend and the Indiana Pacers have decided to go in a different direction. Some thoughts:

- Indiana unloaded Stephen Jackson, which had to be done. Maybe this finally helps them move beyond that whole Detroit thing. I'll always wonder what that Pacers team could have done. It has never been the same.

- Troy Murhpy and Mike Dunleavy desperately needed a fresh start. They are also two guys that I always think are better than they actually are.

- Al Harrington is in his 9th season. That's the crazy part about the guys who came right from high school. They're still young and yet they've been around forever. So how long before Harrington ends up back in Indiana?

- I think both teams could benefit from this.

- This trade may actually suit Jermaine O'Neal's game but it will be interesting to see how he reacts to losing friends. He's a bit disgruntled as is.
