Pacers Make Qualifying Offers To Jack And McRoberts

The Pacers have made qualifying offers to Jarrett Jack and McRoberts. Though both will be restricted free agents, the Pacers retain the right to match any offers from other teams.

"We want 'em back," said Larry Bird. "We know what we can do with Josh but Jarrett's still out there. We have to wait and see if anybody puts an offer in on him. I'm sure there's a lot of teams interested but with the economy the way it is, I don't see a lot of movement."

A Pacers spokesman says the team cannot comment on the situation until free agency officially begins Wednesday.

Indiana is likely to start Brandon Rush at shooting guard during the 2009-10 season.
