Re: Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
I think the team that REALLY got Pritch-slapped is Sacramento. They made a huge mistake in not recognizing who Indiana really wanted. Sacramento should have picked Brandon Rush and forced Indiana to deal with them instead of us. It's exactly what Pritchard did last year with Minnesota. They took our guy, figuring to move down to 8 and deal with Houston. We picked Foye and made them give us Roy.
Geoff Petrie must feel like a moron right about now.

This is what I was thinking. I don't think Bird got pritch-slapped. He may have blown it in accessing talent, but Indy wanted Rush and were going to take Rush at 11. Instead, they get Rush at a lower salary and get Jack.

Re: Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
yeah, I knew it was something like that. I'm too lazy to fix it in the poster, but I'll fix my sig.

The craziest thing, though, was that team president Larry Bird couldn't even talk about his moves because both the Toronto and Portland trades involved "base year compensation'' players, which means the deals can't be completed until July 9. The Pacers lobbied the league to tell its fans about the new players, but the NBA shot them down, threatening any mention of players in proposed deals with a fine. Dumb, really dumb.
After telling the local media he couldn't talk about the moves, Bird shrugged and said, "I don't know what the hell you're gonna ask me.'' Bird would start to talk about how he felt the Pacers improved, then catch himself, laugh and say, "Well, I know Toronto got themselves a lot more size tonight."

"It should be noted that in college, Rush had issues with traffic violations and a failure to make timely child support payments"
