Pacers dealing

Landing Collison.  Nice.  I’m a Bird supporter.

For the Pacers, landing Collison gives them the young starting point guard they’ve been looking for and adds another piece to a young core of players including Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert and promising rookies Paul George and Lance Stephenson.

The Pacers did take on the last two years and $13 million of Posey’s contract, but the deal also sliced another $4 million off the team’s overall payroll.
