I really don't understand why most of Pacers fans wants to trade Granger.

To develop George? That's a pretty dumb solution...the guy is already an starter on this team.

When the Pacers will finally have money to expend to improve the team, everyone still thinks is best to trade Granger.

The guy practicly brought back some pride to this franchise by himself.

Played really well in the playoffs against the Bulls.

 

Now, lets trade him?

Granger has a lot of identification and commitment to the city and to the Pacers.

Trade Granger + some other player(s) for an all star?

I don't think any all star would like to come to Indy.

And if someone indeed came in a deal like that....will probably come obligated.

No identification, no commitment...now what?

Still sounds to me as lack of respect to a player that really dedicated most of his carreer to this franchise.

The Pacers could build a really good team with Granger (a good scorer) + George (great promise) + really good Free Agent(s).

What about those Brandon Bass to the Pacers rumors?

Would be a great fit to the Pacers, but I don't think we have something to offer that could really please Orlando.


I was wondering about Jeff Green's situation.

OKC may not give him an extention because they're willing to save its money for next summer, when Westbrook is eligible for the sort of extension Durant just received.

Is it viable a trade for Green?

Maybe Rush + Dahntay for him?


Give us some thoughts about Bass or Green and how the Pacers could bring one of them to the team.

Pacers receive:

Andre Miller + Future Draft Pick or Jeff Perndergraph

Blazzers receive:

T.J Ford


Andre Miller is a 34 year old with two more years on his contract.

Ford is still young with an expiring contract.

I don't know if could be appealing to Portland, but I think it could be a good option to the Pacers.

Miller has tons of experience as a starter, is a good scorer and a good passer.

What you guys think?

There are a lot of FanPosts about trades popping here.

I sugest for everyone to try out the ESPN Trade Machine before coming up with trade ideas.

I don't know if this engine is really loyal to the NBA rules about trades but I think is pretty close.

I'm not trying to take control of anything, I just think that would help making more sense (especially financiary) all the ideas you're coming up to.

Taking as an exemple, the trade that almost happend last season:

The only change is Diop instead of Mohammed (he's not available for trades in the engine), but the salary base its "similar".
