The Pacers currently have 17 players on their roster and will need to reduce that number by at least two before the start of the regular season.

Mike Wells of The Indianapolis Star writes that center Lance Allred, who was brought in as an extra body for training camp, will likely be cut.

Still, the Pacers will have to make a two-for-one trade in order to reach the magic number of 15 before the 2010-11 season begins.

They are open to trading one of their wing players because they have an excess of talent at the position.
