Indiana Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh understands the negative vibe rising from the streets and filtering through the media. But he asks for more time.

Time for Scot Pollard and Anthony Johnson to show what they can do in a new environment.

Time for him to make other additions and trades.

Time for emotions to settle.

Walsh presented a defensive and at times defiant posture Thursday during a news conference to confirm his team's three-way trade with Sacramento and San Antonio.

Brad Miller, an All-Star in his only full season with the Pacers, goes to Sacramento for Pollard and Hedo Turkoglu. Turkoglu and Ron Mercer go to San Antonio for Danny Ferry's non-guaranteed contract, which can be released or used in another trade.

The result is the Pacers traded Miller for Pollard and maintained the financial flexibility to try to re-sign Reggie Miller and perhaps another free agent.

Walsh also confirmed the addition of Johnson, a six-year veteran who backed up point guard Jason Kidd in New Jersey the past two seasons.
