    The news that Indiana is shopping T.J. Ford is not noteworthy. The news that Mike Dunleavy is on the trade block is a surprise since he plays so well in Jim O'Brien's offense.

    Mike Wells of The Indianapolis Star writes: "The Pacers have a logjam at the wing spot with the addition of Paul George last month. The problem the Pacers are running into with Dunleavy is that he'll make $10.5 million next season and there are concerns about whether he can regain his touch from the 2007-08 season when he averaged 19.1 points and shot nearly 48 percent from the field."

    According to Wells, the Pacers have a received a good number of calls about Troy Murphy. However, they are reluctant to trade him due to concerns about the health of Jeff Foster and Tyler Hansbrough.

    The Pacers goal is to land a point guard with whomever they trade.

    We've got a lot of young talent that's needing experience," said president Larry Bird. "You like to see if we can get something done, especially at the point position."

    This will be a smart trade.
