INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers introduced Al Jefferson, Thaddeus Young and Jeremy Evans on Friday, with the hope that the revamped frontcourt can help push the team closer to the top of the NBAs Eastern Conference.We feel that we added some players that we think are going to help us contend for the East, Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird said.Indiana acquired Young in a draft-night trade with Brooklyn, while Jefferson signed a three-year, $30 million deal earlier this week.The 28-year-old Young, entering his 10th season in the league, averaged 15.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game last season.The 31-year-old Jefferson averaged 12 points and 6.4 rebounds per game last season for Charlotte, but he missed a large chunk of time because of a midseason injury to his right knee.Ive got the injury thing taken care of now, Jefferson said. Once Im 100 percent I dont think theres any doubt in my mind, or anyone elses mind, of what I can do on the court.Evans, who won the 2012 NBA slam dunk competition, was traded to Indiana from Dallas. He didnt play much in his only season with the Mavericks, averaging 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 30 games. He played his first five seasons in Utah.The Pacers also will have a new point guard next season. They acquired Jeff Teague from the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team trade that sent George Hill to the Utah Jazz.The new players will join holdovers Paul George, Myles Turner and Monta Ellis in an effort to improve on last seasons 45-37 record. The Pacers were the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs and lost to Toronto in the first round.I think this roster allows us, with the versatility we have, to establish the tempo that we want to play, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said. We definitely should be able to play fast, and then with the addition of Al Jefferson, you can play in a halfcourt offense.Air Max 270 Sale Ireland .

Its been emotional.Nymans girlfriend, Charlotte Moats, may have had the toughest test of emotions, watching from the finish as Nyman lost control over the legendary camel jump, which launches skiers into the air for nearly 90 yards -- almost the full length of a football field.Nyman flailed his arms to regain his balance and sat all the way down on his skis to soften the landing and somehow restore control.It made me roll down the windows and gave me a good scare, Nyman said. I let out a good grunt when I landed and pulled myself back up. ... I was just telling myself, `You got to keep pushing. The first thing in my mind was that the knees didnt pop so things are OK. `Lets keep going, keep charging. Lets go, lets go, lets go.All three of Nymans wins have come in Val Gardena. The Sundance, Utah, skier still needs one more to match Austrian legend Franz Klammer and Italian standout Kristian Ghedina for a record fourth downhill victory on the Saslong.Im old but Im healthy and happy and I have several more years in me, said Nyman, now the oldest member of the U.S. team at 34. My lady thinks I can go till 2022. I dont know about that, but well see.Either way, Nyman will forever be linked to this race and this area -- perhaps thats why he and Moats decided to wait until they got to Alto Adige to open the baby news.We were lying under the stars last nigght at the top of Passo Sella and were like, `Lets open this email, Nyman said.dddddddddddd And we opened it and were like, `Its a girl! ... And then were like, `Lets name it Sella.I dont know if thats going to (work out) but we might name it Sella. Or it could be Ronda, (for) Sellaronda, Nyman said, referring to the 40-kilometer (25-mile) loop of interconnected trails around the Sella Range.In a race won by Austrias Max Franz, the U.S. Ski Team had a strong showing with Travis Ganong finishing seventh and Bryce Bennett coming eighth with the No. 54 bib.I know I have speed to be faster than anybody, but its having all the splits add up at the end. Its close, its super close, Ganong said. Hopefully I can build from this and look at the video and figure out why I lose time in one section of every race and hopefully not do that next race and hopefully win.Up next for the speed team is a set of races in Santa Catarina, where Ganong posted his only win two years ago.Then its off to the downhill classics in Wengen, Switzerland, and Kitzbuehel, Austria, in January, followed by the world championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in February -- a major test before next seasons Pyeongchang Olympics.First, though, Nyman is inviting the entire team to his apartment in Innsbruck, Austria, for Christmas -- Ganong and his girlfriend, the Canadian skier Marie-Michele Gagnon; two-time Olympic super-G medalist Andrew Weibrecht and his wife and 10-month old daughter; plus some coaches and members of the U.S. womens team.Its going to be quite a change from the usual holiday of just the guys hanging out in Bormio.We got a big Christmas tree and its just nice to create that environment, Nyman said. Usually as men we have a very depressing Christmas. We dont find it all that depressing but the women do. So theyre aching to make it a little more festive.Nyman, for one, has plenty to celebrate.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
