Tinsley to be bought out?

Real GM: Pacers will “reportedly” buy out Tinsley if he can’t be traded.

Chances are this will happen. Our PG rotation is now set with Ford/Jack/Deiner and Tinsley’s injury concerns, combined with the fact the fans hate him and we’re trying to garner positive PR, make it pretty obvious that he’ll be gone. He’s untradeable because he’s apparently gained 25 pounds since April. That’s not going to compel any GM’s that he’s committed to revitalizing his career.

It’s a damn shame, too. Bill Simmons once wrote an article during Tinsley’s rookie season alluding to the fact that he could be one of the great future point guards on the NBA. He had the talent, too, but he never had the desire.
