Pacers add scoring punch, although I don't think it's quite what they need.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – The Indiana Pacers, looking to augment their reserves for the stretch run, will acquire veteran guard Leandro Barbosa from the Toronto Raptors for a second-round pick, according to a league source.

Barbosa, 29, is averaging 12.2 points per game this season in 42 games off the bench for the Raptors. He has been with Toronto the last two seasons after spending his first seven seasons with the Suns. The Pacers are $14 million under the cap and wanted to be a conduit for potential trades before today’s 3 p.m. trade deadline. Barbosa will play both guard spots behind starters Darren Collison and Paul George.

Yahoo! Sports first reported the deal.

Sam Amick reports Crim HS's Anthony Carter is in the deal to Indy as well, reporting the Raps planned to cut him if they couldn't ship him.

Raps are way under the cap and just got lower, reports are they want to be part of a bigger deal to help absorb cap. What deal could that be?

on a side note ASG is just boring as hell once again
