Good move, Collison is a stud. Good news imo. Jones from what I remember is in a deshawn Stevenson mold.

Indiana will acquire Ian Mahinmi (4-years, 16 million) in a sign and trade with Dallas. Darren Collison and Danhtay Jones go to Dallas.

They're both expiring contracts too I think
Givony is a solid source. He never tweets news unless it's legit.
Multiple people tweeting it so the official report should come out soon
Aldridge confirms it too.

Source confirms @DraftExpress report that Pacers will acquire C Ian Mahinmi from Dallas for G Darren Collison and swingman Dahntay Jones.
Nice pick-up by the Mavs...
Mavs get an up-and-coming PG so that would at least temporarily soothe the fanbases' concern.
Damn good deal for the Mavs. Collison is legit.
He doesn't mention the Collison deal explicitly, though that's what he has to be referring to.John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Man, Pacer fans are NOT happy right now. Wondering if another deal is around the bend.
Is Indiana not matching Hibberts offer? Getting Collison for a back-up center is pretty solid for Dallas.
I'm surprised Collison lost his starting job to Hill tbh. Hope he has a strong bounceback season.
We staaaaaackkeeedddddddd
Is it too soon?
Me too. I wonder if they did this so there will be no drama about who the starter is. With the contract they gave Hill it's pretty obvious they feels he is the future for them at PG.
Indiana committing to G. Hill so nobody figures out how bad they got screwed by the Spurs.
Hill outplayed Collison last season.
Collison is a solid PG. Not a great talent, but can be a solid starter. Needs to learn how to play off the ball better. Pacers kept Hill because he's better, especially off the ball.
Personally, I would rather have Mahimni and Hill over Collison. DC is a nice player, but not anything special.
Pacers. Paying 16 million for a Center who loves to foul out...
The Spurs should have tried to trade for him.![]()
