Pacers Won't Trade Jasikevicius

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Sarunas Jasikevicius is coming off a disappointing rookie season in the NBA and has been the subject of trade rumors for a second-round draft pick, something that Donnie Walsh flatly denies.

"That's total B.S.," Walsh said. "He's coming back and he's going to play. Period."

"It will be a different year for him," said Larry Bird. "He's got skills and he can play."</div>

i'd say to trade him. larry bird can do a lot better than sarunas jasiwhomever. then again, i guess he does not a bit more about bball than i do, lol.

 

i think he justs might need time to completely adjust to the nba game he'll be a fine player. did he play in the fiba tournament

 

Sarunas isn't that good anyways. The Pacers would be better off trading him for a 2nd rounder.

 

He's talented, but I don't think he's quick and athletic enough to run the break in an NBA tempo. As far as i've seen, he's only been able to provide perimeter shooting off the bench. He's capable of more, but he should be given another year to adjust.
