TRADE ACCEPTED


Tinsley, as well as Pollard, is supposed to be disfavored in Indiana. Swapping him for Best might help both teams, because of the different styles they play. Indiana has a whole bunch of guys like Croshere (who's not as disfavored under Carlisle as he was before). The trade still works (with some tweaking), and I'd still do it, if you substitute Harrington or Bender (even Foster with more tweaking--like taking Delk out). Eddie is a big-time tradeable commodity. Indiana could flip him to Houston or San Antonio or Chicago or one of the L.A. teams for a gain in talent because of his appeal to the Hispanic market. Fortson, at least, isn't another tall thin guy.

Dallas gets a more legitimate center, a point who'd fit better here, and another forward who they don't really need, but is as useful as Eddie or Fortson.
