Darren Collison appeared on 1070 The Fan (Indianapolis) this week and was asked how he felt when he learned he'd been dealt to the Pacers.

"I actually thought I got traded there earlier in the summer, but I guess my GM told me it was a rumor or something like that," Collison said.

"I thought I got traded to Indiana. Indiana was in great talks to try and get me there. I really didn't pay too much attention to it because at the end of the day it was just rumors and you really don't know too much about it until it actually goes through."
