he can be a nice pick up for a team like Cleveland, just needs to stay out of trouble.
Pacers president Larry Bird discussed the team's point guard situation on Tuesday hinting that Jamaal Tinsley is on the trading block, according to Pacers.com.
"I'm not really worried about the point guard situation," he said, "because I know there are some things out there we can do to get a good point guard, maybe two of them."
Bird was obviously hinting at using the #11 pick to draft a point, and the possibility of pulling off a trade to acquire someone like T.J. Ford of the Raptors.
But before moving onto other topics, Bird not-so-subtly placed Tinsley on the block.
He added, "and we've got one for sale."
Bird also said that small forward Shawne Williams is "on thin ice" within the organization, likely due to a pair of off-court issues that took place last season.

Nobody wants that stick.
I was thinking Cleveland or Denver. Definitely a risk, but if he can be had for cheap and stays out of trouble, he could be a solid pick-up for either of those teams.
He'll be back with Golden State with his gangsta in crime Stephen Jackson.
Yessuh, massah Larry.
if i buy him, do get a free blender and toaster?
more than the off court stuff........he cant stay healthy. this guy had some major talent, but he was always in a suit.
he definitely belongs on the list of players over the last 10 years who's greatness was taken away by injuries....also on the list is Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill.
No he doesn't.
hes too injury prone. hes the new penny, without the talent.
he's so full of potential a few years back. Injuries, off court issues and lack of leadership qualities hit him bigtime, still a decent pg though.
Would be foolish for anyone to think this guy couldn't have been a star if he'd stay out of trouble and healthy. The guy had loads of it but it's too late.
Yes he does.
clumping tinsley alongside penny hardaway? no way. i used to follow indiana. tinsley oftentimes was the reason the pacers would lose a game.
We reported yesterday that pretty much everyone but Dunleavey and Granger are possibilities to be shopped.
Jeff Foster, anyone?
healthy tinsley = rafer alston
injured tinsley = a bag of chips
Broken Record Time: This is about three years too late. I have been saying all along that apart from the entire "not that hot at basketball" issue, the guy can't stay healthy, and he and his immediate family are troublemakers. It really pissed me off to get rid of Jax before this clown. Good riddance, I hope...
You'd have to be pretty desperate to want his or O'Neal's contract at this point.
Many, many, many times. Tinsley didn't seem to understand that he needed to distribute the ball more when he was cold. I have seen him try to shoot his way out of a bad night (padding stats?) more often than not in close games. He has single-handedly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory too many times for me to count.
Jeff Foster = Australian for Big White Stiff.
