Get your programs, people. After the 2007-08 season, the Indiana Pacers used the draft and a couple of trades to bring in seven new players and begin overhauling the roster in the post-Jermaine O'Neal contract era. Beggars can't be choosers, so the moves two summers ago were more about the players leaving the roster than the players joining the roster.

When your team’s seats are empty because of character issues, the character issues have to be fixed first. Now that that’s pretty much done, some talent can be looked for…..and without the talent all the good coaching and top management won’t win a cup of coffee.
