I think, that they need some more acrobatic player aside Jones, they have NONE. And a real perimeter threat, I know we have Uncle Reg, but he will not be here forever. Please.

Jeff Foster can be extraordinary at times but is not very consistent. Someone like Chris Kaman or Mark Bryant would be nice.
^I would still keep Jeff Foster around. He is only 26 and he is one of the more underrated defenders in the league. His rebounding and offensive game has to come around but he is still worth starting and keeping for the long run. What I think this team needs is a new starting shooting guard. I'm really hesistant to say this but I think Reggie should come off the bench for the Pacers. If you can get a younger shooting guard who can play some defence and take Reggie off the bench it would improve their team tremendously. I know Harrington should be first off the bench but Reggie be more role-oriented and quite possibly more effective for the Pacers.
I agree with shooting guard. There was a thread in another forum talking about the draft and that was the need I thought they should address.
Well, if talking about what the Pacers "need," they need Jonathan Bender to develop at a quicker rate. You guys are talking about needing a shooting guard, he was suppose to be it (albeit a freakishly tall one). If he can get his game together, Bender and Artest at the wing positions would be insane...

Right now, to be fair, he isn't much of a post threat wathsoever... *Edit* And for crying out loud... Someone learn the kid to rebound... 1.9rebounds a game for a 7-footer is... BAAAAAAAAAAAAD
