Dunleavy Jr may never wear a pacer jersey....

I just saw on realgm.com an article that says the Pacers and Clippers are close to a Dunleavy Jr. for Maggette trade.

Which would make that trade a lot better for the Pacers if true. Clippers are just nutty.

A guest (not sure who) on Koz's show tonight said that Donny Walsh flatly denied that rumor and stated that Dunleavy is there to stay...but that doesn't necessarily mean anything, I suppose.

Dunleavy Jr. has been rumored to be going to the Clippers ever since Dunleavy became coach... I'll believe it when I see it...

I listened to Chad Ford's podcast with Donnie Walsh today and he flat-out denied it. He was extremely honest about everything that went down with the trade -- it's a really interesting interview.

I can't think of any reason the Pacers shouldn't make that trade. At least Maggette has shown he can be productive in the NBA.

The question is: why the hell would the Clippers EVER do that trade? I understand the relationship between father and son as well as Maggette's situation there, but it's still not enough reason to trade a good player for someone who's amounted to little more than a bust in his career. I can see the Dunleavy Sr. trying to swing a trade for his son in hopes that he can jumpstart his career, but there's no reasonable way that he trades those two straight-up, right? Or do they need to hire Bill Simmons (the Sports Guy), their resident season-ticket holder, as a VP of Common Sense?

That was KingsTalk.

And Geoff Petrie said there were absolutely no trades in the works the day before Chris Webber was traded.

Pacers aren't trading Dunleavy

I'll take him at his word. With Webb's buyout I think we can now rightfully say this trade absolutely sucked for BOTH teams. Obviously shows nobody thought too long or hard about it.
