Damn, man. If the Jack plan falls through maybe they should throw the BAE at Earl and then use the MLE on somebody else?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Give hime the BAE and then use the MLE on Barnes or Kleiza + Rasho?

Sounds like a plan.

Febreezy · 07-17-2009, 08:23 PM

But I really want the Jack deal to happen.

If that's true Jack is ours. Good move for Indy

It is true, I seen it on twitter via realgm raptor forum. Seems like Jack is a lock.

Looks like Jarrett Jack is close to being ours. Once this is confirmed, he's ours.

Great move by Indiana.

Is it possible Indiana will make it public if they don't plan to match or is it normal just to wait it out?
