King has also had discussions with the Pacers "since June," he said yesterday.
While King wouldn't confirm the particulars, an NBA source said the two teams have talked about swapping Derrick Coleman and Greg Buckner for Austin Croshere.
Coleman, who will be bought out of the remaining $7 million of his contract if King cannot pawn him off on somebody, is owed $4.5 million next year with a $2.5 million buyout in 2005-06. Buckner ($2.88 million) has four years and $13 million remaining.
Croshere, a combination forward who has fallen out of the Pacers' rotation since signing a huge extension, is slated to make $26.73 million over the next three years - $8.26 million this season, followed by $8.91 million and $9.56 million.

I know it sounds gross, and it's a big contract, but really it's not that bad. Croshere is a SF who can play some PF (won't be a beast down low) and he can definitely shoot the ball, which is something we're going to need more of. The thing is, if this goes through I honestly doubt we'll still land Walker as well.
Also this gives us a shorter contract than Buckner, while getting rid of two guys we were talking about buying out. I think he could work out in O'Brien's system, but the problem comes down to how many minutes are we handing out here?
