Philadelphia has agreed to terms with free agent guard Kareem Rush, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting.

A source close to Rush has confirmed that the shooting guard is in Philadelphia and will sign with the Sixers tomorrow.

Rush played last season with the Indiana Pacers, averaging 8.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

Pacers' President Larry Bird is reportedly upset at the recent incident involving Shawne Williams and says that the forward's future with the organization may be in jeopardy, the Associated Press is reporting.

While Williams was not arrested, a passenger in the vehicle he was driving was for marijuana possession on Friday.

Bird said Saturday he planned to meet with Williams to discuss the latest incident.

"While Shawne Williams was not involved in any arrest or any criminal wrongdoing, we are extremely upset and hugely disappointed he once again has put himself in a position that jeopardizes Shawne's future as a member of the Indiana Pacers," Bird said in a statement released by the team.

Pacers' forward Shawne Williams was skating on thin ice after a pair of legal transgressions last season, but he may have fallen through after another one of his friends got in hot water recently, according to The Indianapolis Star.

Friday afternoon, Carmel police arrested Darrell Smith Jr., 21, a passenger in the car Williams was driving, after discovering Smith had a small amount of marijuana.

"Shawne Williams was not charged with anything," Horner said. "He was given a window tint and seat belt violation. Mr. Smith?s marijuana charge is a misdemeanor."

The car Williams was driving was not his.

The team issued this statement: "While Shawne Williams was not involved in any arrest or any criminal wrongdoing, we are extremely upset and hugely disappointed he once again has put himself in a position that jeopardizes Shawne?s future as a member of the Indiana Pacers. I plan to meet with Shawne as soon as possible to discuss this further."

Pacers' forward Danny Granger claims that he is ready to lead the team with Jermaine O'Neal now in Toronto, according to HoopsWorld.

"With Jermaine gone, the job just got a lot harder," Granger said. "It's a lot more on my shoulders, on Mike's (Dunleavy) shoulders and even Jeff Foster has been around for years, but we have to take this team to the next level."

Granger started 80 games for Indiana last season, averaging 19.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

"I'll just do whatever it takes for this team." Granger said.

The Pacers have acquired seven new players so far this season, but they claim that aren't done making moves, according to The Indianapolis Star.

"As we made deals, we knew we were probably going to have an area that we needed to still address, and right now it's a power forward that can score down low," President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said Tuesday.

The team is also hoping to rid themselves of point guard Jamaal Tinsley.

"Hopefully, we're not done this summer," Bird added.

The Pacers have their mid-level exception, which is about $5.9 million, to spend, but Bird said there's a possibility that they won't even use it at all.

"There's different ways we can take care of our needs," General Manager David Morway said. "I think at this point, we're looking at the trade market at the moment."

"We're talking to some teams, but it depends on if they are going to make the decision or not," Bird said. "We'll see where it goes."

The Indiana Pacers announced Tuesday that rookies Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert have signed contracts with the team. Per club policy, terms of the contracts were not revealed.

There are strong indications the Pacers have interest in Carl Landry.

The Rockets have asked for more testing on Landry's right knee, but Landry's agent Buddy Baker told the Houston Chronicle that's posturing on the part of Rockets' General Manager Daryl Morey.

"Obviously, I view it as a move in his part to undercut his value and dissuade the interest he has garnered," Baker told the Chronicle. "The reverse has happened. Teams have taken the position that he will not match offers. That has opened the floodgates. They are operating as if he (Landry) was an unrestricted free agent."

Larry Bird discussed the Pacers' recent moves on Wednesday and confirmed that Jamaal Tinsley will not be on the roster when the 2008-09 season begins, according to The Indianapolis Star.

Coach Jim O'Brien added to the speculation, claiming he believed that the point guard position is solidified with T.J. Ford, Jarrett Jack, and Travis Diener, with no mention of Tinsley.

"We're trying to do some things to see what's out there for Jamaal and, hopefully, we can get something done," Bird said. "Jamaal's been great for us. Unfortunately, he's been injured from time to time. He's still a great basketball player, but Jimmy's right. We're probably going in a different direction."

Tinsley has three years and $21 million left on his contract.

The Indiana Pacers announced a trade that they agreed upon during the draft on Wednesday.

In a trade with Portland, the Pacers receive Jarrett Jack, Josh McRoberts, and Brandon Rush (13th overall pick in the draft) in exchange for Ike Diogu and Jerryd Bayless (the 11th pick in the draft).

The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday two trades that bring seven new faces to the team. In a deal with Toronto, the Pacers acquired T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston, and Roy Hibbert (the 17th overall pick in June?s NBA draft) for Jermaine O?Neal and Nathan Jawai (the 41st pick in the draft).

?We?re very excited about the trades we made,? said Pacers' President of Basketball Larry Bird. ?We know we got some good character guys and good players. I just want to help the franchise move forward, and we feel with the draft, we know we picked up two good guys that our fans are going to be very supportive of and excited about.?

Added Pacers' Coach Jim O?Brien, ?I think Larry and (General Manager) David Morway did an outstanding job in changing around our basketball team, both with the trades and the picks. Our team will have a completely different look next year. Overall, the seven new players we have give us a completely different look than we had last year, and we have maintained the guys that got the majority of playing time at the end of last season."
