Who is staying, going for Pacers?

The Indiana Pacers have until 6 p.m. today to get their roster down to the league-mandated 15 players. They currently have 16.
The Pacers have been trying to pull off a two-for-one trade to avoid having to cut a player, especially one with a guaranteed contract.
"Having to release a guy, if it comes to that, is just part of things," Pacers president Larry Bird said. "(Coach) Jim (O'Brien) could end up playing a lot of guys this season. I always like to stay at 14 guys, but it seems like we'll be at 15 this year."
The Pacers have had no success trying to package Dahntay Jones and Solomon Jones in a two-for-one trade.
"It's out of my control," Solomon Jones said. "The only thing I can control is how I play when I get on the court. I need to help contribute to the team any way I can. All the other off-the-court issues and rumors are out of my control."
The Pacers signed swingman Dahntay Jones to a three-year deal with a player option on the fourth year last year because they liked his defensive abilities.
