Jamaal Tinsley was drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies (27^th Overall), and then two trades later (on the same day), he was an Indiana Pacer.

An All-Rookie Selection with the New Orleans Hornets in 2010, Darren Collison arrived in Indiana the year after as part of a four-team trade.

Travis Best was chosen by the Pacers in the 1^st Round (23^rd Overall) from Georgia Tech, and he was a dependable backup Point Guard for the team for the first six and half years of his NBA career.  He would help the Pacers reach the 2000 NBA Finals and the season after he had his best season.  That year he would average 31.9 Minutes with career-highs of 11.9 Points and 6.1 Assists per Game.

The best statistics of James Edwards' career took place in Indiana, where he arrived in a trade from the Los Angeles Lakers in his rookie season (1977-78).  Nicknamed "Buddha," the big Center would play three and a half seasons for the Pacers, and while his rebounding and blocking numbers were arguably soft for his minutes logged and position, he had good numbers on the offensive side of the ball.
