Will the Pacers trade Granger?

Yes No vote to see results With the trade deadline quickly approaching, Larry Bird has gotten a clear direction from the Pacers ownership and the fans that he needs to tear the team completely apart this season. Beware Pacer fans, if Bird tears the team up, then you must realize that the entire NBA knows that you only have one bargaining chip and it is time to use it.

The Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers are beginning to identify if there is a potential trade that can be made between the two teams. The Rockets have come together during a season in which they should have had more adversity due to the Yao injury last season. Plus, they are doing all of this without Tracy McGrady, so kudos to the Rockets. Now, the Rockets are identifying if they could make a run in the playoffs with a true team.

The Pacers are considering sending their blue chip in Danny Granger along with Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy for Tracy McGrady, Brian Cook, and a future pick. The Rockets would be taking on salary for the 2010/11 season, but they are still uncertain as to the status of Yao. So, the move works not only short term, but also for the future.

The Pacers ownership is in a no win situation. They want to win, but the team that they have built is unable to win. So, the fans are staying away. If the fans aren't buying the tickets, then they cannot continue to have this high priced talent. By doing the proposed trade, the Pacers are sacrificing their star player for the betterment of the organization.

Starting lineup for the Pacers would be as follows:

Dantay Jones - PG and Price/Watson/Ford - backups

Brandon Rush - SG and Head - backup

Tracy McGrady - SF

Brian Cook - PF and Tyler Hansbrough - backup

Roy Hibbert - C and Jones/Foster


The Rockets recruit a great deal of depth and get a star player in Granger for many years to come.

What a load of horse **** There is no way this is even remotely gonna happen!

IBTL!

Now this is just silly....

I mean IBTL! This guy doesn't even know that D. Jones is not a PG!

who says that is a "reliable source". If I wasn't about to enjoy some alcohol, I'd take the time to make an account on that site just to tell the guy he's a complete moron.

alcohol wins

Obviously unreliable.


None of us are Real GM's here, but we're much more likely to understand a move and anticipate one than this guy. He has no sense of the salary cap as he think the Pacers and Cavs can trade Murphy and Hibbert for Shaq. The money's just a *wee* bit off on that one.

Went ahead and logged in with my facebook account. I just HAD to let the guy know that he's not very intelligent.

Knicks fan here. Wanted to see what you guys were saying about Ford. You can always take Curry if you would like.
That article was pathetic.... Rockets are delusional if they think anybody actually wants Mcgrady and not his contract. Granger, Murphy and Dunleavy for tmac and cook what a fkn joke.

We don't want Ford, but more than that we don't want any ugly contracts. So Curry would be out of the question for us.

You gonna apologize for that spankin your boys gave us the other night?

This website is almost like Wikipedia in the fact that anyone can make an account and post anything they want...There is no way shape nor form that this website can ever be considered reliable

The fact that you believe he is a reliable source might just make you more of a moron than he is...

Wait a second! Isn't the thread starter the same poster that put up the "Tiger Woods Sex Tape" thread earlier?

I smell a troll.

You broke the rule of posting the whole article. I'm locking this because of that and the ridiculousness of sacrificing the star player to sell tickets.
