"Andre Drummond
I would love to add drummond to our core. I would trade anyone not named valanciunas.
Calderon Ross and ed davis should get it done. but of course coangelo would never do this amazing trade.
Teams don't trade their best players unless they're disgruntled. Granger would be much more realistic.

Thus, it would take Monroe to get h im. Then, Indy would never trade Paul George to a division rival. Paul George is part of their success and there is no reason for them to ever consider trading him, especially to a rival.
Thus, a trade involving PG to the Pistons can only happen in NBA 2k13 or 14!
The same is probably true with Granger too. In the Division trades are rare, let alone for a star player.
Take the Red Wings and Rick Nash/Blue Jackets for instance. Supposedly Wings had a better offer than the Rangers for Nash, but the Blue Jackets flat out refused to deal him to a division rival.

Pacers have payroll issues. They have Hibbert, Granger and Hill making good, big or insane money.
They will soon have to deal with David West and his free agency.. and they still have to deal with Paul George
Unfortunately for them George is last to the pay window... so it might make sense to deal Granger this off-season to give them some wiggle room
I doubt anyone takes Hibbert or Hill... so Granger is the man in the spotlight.
A team with enough cap space could trade a draft pick and get Granger! Time will tell but the Pacers don't make a move before next season's trade deadline I'll be very surprised
This is probably true.. PG is off the table IMO but Danny is defintely in play next season.
I doubt you guys would offer Monroe and based on the pacers needs I would suspect the Pacers wouldn't want him. I think both FO's value their players higher than the other so unless its a top 10 lotto pick I don't think Granger gets dealt for just a pick.
The bigger question is if Granger would resign with the Pistons and I am not sure he would so that puts a damper on that trade option as well.

Wait did u just.... never mind![]()
It's definitely possible... just not that probable. I just don't think we have the pieces to acquire him. #sadstory
Only way I can see it happening is if we trade b knight and monroe...
yeah, not sure if he was serious about that post lol
Anyways, imo Paul George is NOT worth Monroe AND Knight. ppl need to stop undervaluing our players.
George looks like a great young player, but so does Monroe.
In fact, look at their PER 36 and Monroe has better stats than George. So if anything, I don;'t think the Pistons would even do a trade of George for Monroe. Given big men holding more value. And I highly doubt they would even entertain the idea of giving up Monroe and Knight, for a player who is less productive than Monroe by himself.
