Now that the Pacers have secured their point guard of the future in Darren Collison, the Pacers have a glaring need at the power forward position. With the current players on the roster that could fill that spot, there isn't a clear cut choice to be the starter.
Jeff Foster, Josh McRoberts, Tyler Hansbrough, and Solomon Jones are all possibilities, but who in their right mind feels comfortable with that quartet to choose from? Not me, that's for sure. Keep in mind that the Pacers are at the roster max of 15 players right now, which leaves Magnum Rolle, a guy the Pacers want to sign, out in the cold.
Here are two possible trade scenarios that could work out:
Scenario 1
Pacers incoming:
* Brandon Bass
* Ryan Anderson
Orlando incoming:
* Dahntay Jones
* Josh McRoberts
* Solomon Jones
This trade works for both teams. Bass gets an opportunity to play more (which he has stated he wants) and Orlando grabs a solid perimeter defender and two (although small) expiring contracts. Anderson could play a smaller Troy Murphy role for the Pacers and this trade also opens up a roster spot for Magnum Rolle.
Scenario 2
Pacers incoming:
* Jason Thompson
Sacramento incoming:
* Brandon Rush
This trade allows the Kings to decrease the traffic jam in their frontcourt, while the Pacers do the same on the wing. The money is even and this is really a win-win for both parties. However, the roster spot for Magnum Rolle is still non-existent.
If either of these trades were pulled off, Pacer fans should/would be thrilled with the possibilities of a playoff run this season. There is still plenty of time before the season starts and Larry Bird stated that they still had work to be done this Summer, so we shall see.
