Treating us to a rare offseason mailbag, Dave D'Alessandro writes that the Pacers aren't ready to pull the trigger on a Jefferson and Krstic for Jermaine O'Neal deal (which doesn't work financially - Boki Nachbar or Jason Collins would have to be included), because they would want Marcus Williams added to the deal, and they're also hoping they can get Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum instead. Sean Deveney adds that "Donnie Walsh is a shrewd and patient negotiator and it's only to be expected that he will start the bidding for his franchise player very high."
