November 16, 2008 Jamaal Tinsley's agent has approached the Pacers about buying out his contract, the Indianapolis Star-Tribune reports.
Our View:The Pacers have been searching for a trade partner for Tinsley.
October 4, 2008 Jamaal Tinsley could still be traded to the Nuggets after all, according to the Indianapolis Star. It was erroneously reported Friday that Tinsley was dealt, but a person familiar with the situation said the point guard could be traded for real as early as Monday. Point guard Chucky Atkins and center Steven Hunter would go to the Pacers in the deal.
Our View:We're not going to speculate any more on this deal. We'll let you know when and if it happens.
October 3, 2008 A trade reported by the New York Post that said Indiana was trading Jamaal Tinsley to Denver for Chucky Atkins and Stephen Hunter is untrue, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "I think there have been conversations because everybody knows the Nuggets are looking for a point guard and Indiana another big. But I don’t think anything is imminent or close," said Hunter's agent, Mark Bartelstein.
Our View:Tinsley is not allowed to come to Pacers camp because of off-court incidents, and the team is desperately trying to move him. This trade, or a similar one, may in fact be in the works, but it appears as if it is not happening today.
