As free-agent forward David West and the Boston Celtics work to complete a difficult sign-and-trade deal, the Indiana Pacers have positioned themselves to sign the power forward should talks with the Celtics flatline on Sunday, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. More From Adrian Wojnarowski Lakers end Paul trade talks, ship Odom to Mavs Dec 11, 2011 Sources: Howard requested trade from Magic to Nets Dec 10, 2011 The Celtics have been discussing a four-year deal with West, sources said. Still, Boston is limited under sign-and-trade rules with how high it can go with an offer.
The Celtics can offer the first three years in the $24 million to $25 million range, but the fourth year would likely not be fully guaranteed. Several sources believed there would be a resolution Sunday. Indiana has been discussing a two-year deal with West but with a higher annual salary, sources said.
The Pacers have cap space to sign West outright, while Boston, which is over the salary cap, needs the sign-and-trade scenario to acquire him. With the Chris Paul to the Lakers deal falling apart again late Saturday night, the Hornets still hadn’t made any calls to pursue re-signing West, sources said.
Indiana is also negotiating with free-agent forward Carl Landry, sources said. The Celtics have discussed sending center Jermaine O’Neal, and possibly rookies E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson, to the Hornets, sources said.
For the deal to work, the Hornets need to find a landing spot for Jermaine O’Neal’s $6.2 million contract. That’s a difficult proposition for a 16-year veteran with a history of injuries, but New Orleans has seemed confident it can do so

I wish I could photoshop gifs. I'd make the little kid CP3, the first guy David Stern, and the last guy Hugo or Dell

The little kid should be Dell Demps after he sends trade to NBA, the second guy is Stern, third guy is Hornets fans
