Pacers trying to trade Dunleavy and Ford

The Pacers don't feel comfortable going into next season with their current roster.

That's why team officials want to make a trade for the first time in nearly two years.

The two players they're trying to move are T.J. Ford and Mike Dunleavy, according to sources.

Ford isn't surprising because the Pacers have been trying to unload him for some time.

Dunleavy is the surprising one because coach Jim O'Brien has always held him in high regard due to his ability to grasp the offense.

The Pacers have a logjam at the wing spot with the addition of Paul George last month.

The problem the Pacers are running into with Dunleavy is that he'll make $10.5 million next season and there are concerns about whether he can regain his touch from the 2007-08 season when he averaged 19.1 points and shot nearly 48 percent from the field.

good luck Indy.

i dont see any team in the league that will want to touch either of them.
Ford is a shell of his former self, not to mention being labelled a bad lockerroom presence in the media. he went from starter to 3rd string in the matter of weeks.
And Dunleavy? that guy's knees are finished, and his contract is even worse.

Calderon for TJ. At least TJ is an expiring.
