Yeah I don't know that this is such a hot trade..
Often guys coming from a lousy team have inflated statistics. The bottom
line is that Jalen Rose is more talented then anyone they gained in this 
trade.

Do you trade talent for quantity? 
The pacers were already reasonably deep. I don't know if this trade will 
really 
work out. Still though they have talent. If Larry was still coaching they 
would be number one in the east.
