Hey guys, and welcome to another edition of The Fast Break! Let's get it moving now because we got some good topics to cover of the Indiana Pacers. Let's get going!Solomon Jones On the PacersFor my amusement, I went over to Indy Cornrows and checked out how they were doing. And by the way, thanks for adding my blog to your blogroll IC, I appreciate it very much! Anyways, it was shown that the Pacers have already signed Solomon Jones? Take a look:Jeff Rabjohns reports that
the Pacers have agreed to a 2-year deal with former Atlanta big,
Solomon Jones. Jones just turned 25 and will be heading into his fourth
NBA season spending the previous three scrounging minutes off the
bench. At 6'10" with a 7'4" wingspan, Jones definitely has the goods to
turn shots away around the rim, but don't expect much impact at the
other end of the floor. With the Pacers due for a rags to riches
miracle, it would be nice if Jones developed into a stronger presence
than anticipated, but planning on divine intervention in July is
useless.Check out more of this entertaining and interesting article here.Pacers Exit the "Tinsley Bear Trap"The good guys at EPNS talked about the Jamaal Tinsley Bear Trap. Here's a sneak preview:They finally did it. The Pacers finally "freed" themselves of the steel
bear trap that is Jamaal Tinsley's contract. They spent more than a
year desperately trying to find a trading partner for the mercurial
point guard, but to no avail. So, with an arbitration hearing to
formally resolve the issue less than a week away, Indiana's leadership
elected to be done with the matter once and for all. Wednesday
afternoon, they gnawed through their ankle to escape and bought out
Jamaal's contract.You enjoying this or what? To see more of Tim Donahue's article, click here. I really enjoyed it, and so should you. Random Pacer: Scott HaskinBobby Roberts of PacersPlace.com talks about the some random player of the Indiana Pacers named Scott Haskin. Here's a little sneak-peak:Can you believe that Scott Haskin was nearly a lottery pick for the
Pacers back in 1993? He was picked in the fist round with the 14th
overall pick. Do you think that if Jay Bilas would have covered this
draft, would he describe Haskin as "long"?I thought you guys might enjoy that. For more of America's White Boy's article, click here. Tinsley To the Sixers?It was reported that the recently-released point guard Jamaal Tinsley is receiving interest from the Philadelphia 76ers, Philly.com reports. Now to me, this is surprising. Who the hell wants Tinsley? I understand because Andre Miller fell to the Blazers, but come on, JAMAAL TINSLEY! Oh well, if he falls there, there's nothing like a sneak-preview of how he'll look:So this is The Fast Break right now guys! Enjoy your day to the fullest! And also, a quick note, we'll be launching a podcast called "Pacering the Pulse" which brings up quick updates of the Pacers and some rumors. Get your pulse on guys because this is the Pacers Pulse!

Just How Good Is Solomon Jones?
With the Indiana Pacers' recent addition of Solomon Jones, Bobby Roberts was certainly right, the Pacers are going to be pretty active this off-season. I like the addition of Jones because he hasn't shown his skills much too often on the NBA court. But I've seen a few highlights, and I like how he rolls. With the Pacers most probably using him as a center, I've seen...
