Robert Mayer-US PRESSWIRE
There have been a lot of NBA rumors over the last couple of days and the Indiana Pacers have decided to get involved. Â They just traded away backup point guard Darren Collison so they are trying to make a move to acquire DJ Augustin from the Charlotte Bobcats in a sign and trade deal.

Augustin can be a very good player in the league but he has one thing that will always hold him back. Â He is just too small to play the type of game the he does. Â He likes driving to the basket, but without overwhelming speed, he is not super effective. Â He can be a very good backup on a good team and Indy will use him right.
He has improved every year, so I will say that for him.  It is not easy playing for a team that isn’t any good, but he hasn’t had any issues.  Getting on a team that will make the playoffs and maybe make a run is good for any player.  He shouldn’t have to worry about money after this either.
I like all of these moves the Pacers are making from a depth perspective. Â The money might be a little bit out of wack but they are trying to fill all of their holes. Â There is certainly nothing wrong with that after their back court was exposed in the playoffs. Â Getting a guy like Augustin will certainly help prevent things like that.
