Are the Pacers the new Knicks?!?

Today the Indiana Pacers completed the Ron Artest saga by getting nothing in return for his services. Peja Stoakovic agreed verbally to a tender offer from the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE TEAMS IN INDIANA?!?

Indiana and Indianapolis have a rich history of putting together respectable, contending teams who fight for post season berths every year and give their fans hope that they will put all of the pieces together and bring a title to a proud, but title-starved state. This off-season, Indy has lost Edgerrin James AND Peja AND Ron Artest. It's funny and a little sad that the only way that the Pacers can hope to salvage any of this mess is to go after a player that they sent packing a couple of years ago: Al Harrington. Right now Indy has some attitude issues-they do not seem to understand the reality of today's sports market: the DOLLAR still reigns supreme.

IN CLOSING:

We need to take a moment of silence for the city of Detroit who were just shocked in their arrogance as Ben Wallace signed with the Chicago Bulls!!!

And now that that moment of stupidity is over-You HAVE TO take your hats off to the Bulls and the Hornets! Chicago is getting Ben Wallace-Shipping out malcontent Tyson Chandler and getting PJ Brown and JR Smith-and they are probably not done yet.
The Hornets just signed Peja, are getting Chandler AND signed Bobby Jackson (ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS!!!) away from Memphis to a 3 year deal=all in the span of 3 days!!!! The Hornets have Byron Scott as coach and the best up and coming guard in the league in Chris Paul! WATCH OUT!!

Take heart Indiana......................At least...................You have the Pacemates!!!

Jason,

Yeah, at least Indy still has Manning, and they got rid of Vander"crap"... The Pacers may suck for a while, but the Colts should still compete, at least the running back they have now show up for training camp.. GO COLTS
