    Pacers looking to deal Danny Granger!!!! WTF??????

    Stupid, stupid, stupid. They will never make the ECF if they do this. Imagine how well Granger could get loose with West, George, and Hill on the floor at the same time. A top five team with Granger.

    If that is the case you won't equal value for granger anyway. Might as well see how far you can go with a healthy team.

    Granger would no trade that deal. He wouldn't get any shots up in NY.

    It would be dumb to pick up an injured player with so much owed to him.

    It is even more dumb to get rid of a player who is your best player once he comes back from the injury. Dumb versus stupid.

    Do you really think Granger won't be the best player on the team when he returns? Come on now, let's be realistic

    He was that much better than everyone else when he left. He will still be the best player on the team, but maybe not by as much. Might not be a class difference as it was last year, but better nonetheless.

    Granger getting old. Guy is going to hit the big 3-0 in a couple months. Overpaid too. Ship him out and get some draft picks, who cares if they're 2nd rounders.

    George is much better and younger than Granger. Granger is nothing special, all he does well is score. He is Joe Johnson Jr. He isn't going to win you anything.

    maybe they are trading him while people still think he's good. hope they get something good for him, they are one or two players short from being a contender. agree that george is better too.

    Pacers match up well against east top teams as it is. I don't know what else they would need.

    Dumping his contract would be enough, doesn't matter much what I got in return.

    Getting him out of the way probably contributed to George's continued breakthru. Scoring there similar now, George better defender, facilitator/passer, rebounder and more athletic. Granger also coming off injury and is way overpaid.

    There not even close at this point. George 7 years younger and is becoming a big time superstar. Remains to be seen if Granger can even mesh with this group as he does demand a lot of shots. This is George's team now and if Granger comes in and starts demanding shots and wanting to still be the guy it will be problems for Pacers.

    Why do you think Granger is better?

    They need to dump his salary get some more depth and get younger. The future is Paul George. They've done most their damage without granger anyways this year.

    Salary cap, look it up.

    Just because the Knicks generate more money than 99% of the league, doesn't mean they can just buy whomever they want.

    much younger and no experience. They still won't beat the heat in a 7 game series.

    They won't get out of the first round without Granger. They are playing way over their heads now. No room for error.

    George is a younger cheaper version of Granger. Don't need two of the same guy. They need a better PG.

    Might be true, but I'm not sure Granger helps them. It's about chemistry. George is a Granger clone.

    They need to make a trade like the Grizzlies just made with Rudy Gay, except Granger is no Rudy Gay. And this trade is almost certainly a good idea.
