Troy Murphy
Ike Diogu
Keith McLeod

Warriors Get
Stephen Jackson
Al Harrington
Sarunas Jasikevicius
Josh Powell

Record at Trade
Pacers: 20-18
Warriors: 19-21

Record Since
Pacers: 8-6, 28-24 overall
Warriors: 6-8, 25-29 overall

The Players Involved
Pacers: Mike Dunleavy has been scoring 13 PPG (up 1.5 PPG) and Troy Murphy is scoring 9.4 PPG (up only 0.5 PPG). Ike Diogu's rebounds are down almost 1 PG. Keith McLeod has only seen 5 minutes of PT in 1 game since coming over.

Warriors: Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson have nearly identical stats since going to Golden State. Both are both averaging around 18 PPG, with 3 APG, 1+Steals PG, and 0.5 Block PG. Harringtons's PPG has increased by about 2, while Jackson's has increased by 4. Jasikevicius is getting about 15 Minutes PG in, comparable to his PT in Indiana. Powell's PT has gone up by 3 MPG, and his scoring has increased about three-fold (1.7 PPG vs. 4.7 PPG)

The Verdict
The Pacers didn't turn out too much worse for having lost their major offseason acquisition. I don't know what Donnie Walsh thinks about Al Harrington. First they draft him, then ship him off to Atlanta for Stephen Jackson, then sign in back, then trade both of them. I suppose the bottom line is that the Pacers went from 2 games over .500 to 4 games over. And, the Pacers ended up +1 in the white boy department. Because if it's one thing the Pacers have always lacked, it's white boys.
