This guy looks like a baller.

Yeah we have no pf but he is a sf who can backup Wallace, move Brown to backup pf and even be like Luc and give some minutes at the 4.

Stephen Grahams definitely a keeper.. He has come up the hard way in the NBA 10 Day contracts first then stuck with Indiana for 2 years.. 12MPG 83% ft 5pts 2 boards32% 3pt and very good defender for a swing man.. He has got better ever year and with LB as coach look for him to get 12-15mpg maybe 10pts and 6-8 boards at as the backup for GW and maybe play some small ball at 4.
The way this roster currently looks, I think LB still has some trades up his sleeve before 1-1-2010 and Stephen may get even more minutes20-25mpg 15/10 if GW moves on. Is Bob thinkin Bucks $$$$$$$$$$$again?

I think Graham is a lock to be here. I wouldn't be surprised to see a deal either, but it will come from a position of strength versus "having" to deal. Therefore, I don't see Wallace going as much as Bell getting shipped. Graham is already a favorite of LB's, and he and UPS should provide solid minutes at the 3, and some small 4. But seeing this guy replace Crash anytime soon is not realistic.

yes.

and he will play decent minutes.

Not replace Gerald Wallace.

Gerald Wallace-Raymond Felton-DJ are our best players.

You can't trade them without getting a bigtime player.

He looks like a LB guy. Kind of like a better version of Bowen.

If they have to drop Martin they should.

They have 12 guys right now and Graham would make 13.

I would have thought they would have gotten a big man but this makes more sense.
They have a good C combo Chandler and Nazi with Diop makes Chandler able to play some 4.

Derrick Brown is signed right?
If so he can backup Radman and Diaw at the 4 and Graham can play the 3 so really even though Graham is a 3 he helps us out at the 4.

Magic 8 ball says yes!

if graham was a better version of bowen he wouldnt be having to try out for us. he'd be starting for a good team. lets not go overboard.

O.K. maybe I took it a little to far.

He is Bowenesh on D and has a better offensive game.

i agree he has some of bowen's skillset/toughness.

bowen is much better 3pt shooter. graham is much better at taking the ball to the rim.

we'll see if graham can even be mentioned in the same breath as bowen in terms of man to man wing defense. bowen was the best in the league for 5+ years. i've never heard one person mumble graham's name in a conversation about the top man to man wing defenders.

but hey, bowen wasnt always a big time player. he was a late bloomer. maybe graham is also a late bloomer.

until then, lets be happy we seem to have found a bargain wing at the last minute.

funny... bernie bickerstaff wanted to draft joey graham with a first round pick. we get his twin brother, who is just about as good for basically nothing. this round goes to LB.

He's been impressive in the pre season so far

he stays and helps this team this year and hopefully for the long run.

He's the better of the Graham brothers.

I've suspected as much.

Joey is as dumb as a brick. Stephen is at least pretty instinctive. Graham's struggling to convert his shots right now, but he's got physical talent and he hustles. That's something. Looked pretty good two years ago in his first year with the Pacers. Low ceiling, but good rotation filler.
