Nows the time to trade anyone and everyone except Paul George. Trade them now while they still have some value. Grangers never going to be a star player as of now he has value in trades. Get young talent and stock up on draft picks for the future. Three years from now the talent level of the other teams are going to be going down hill. Heat ...Celts....Lakers...Three years from now with the rite moves. the Pacers could be in very good condition to compete for championships.

Disagree. They are too young and too inexperienced. If anything they have to trade some young pieces, expiring and draft picks and get some veterans in here who can play and help this team develop. Also, keep growing as a team and add via free agency.

Grangers not getting any younger by the time these young guys with no talent are ready to play alot of minutes. Granger will be retired. Makes no sense to keep this loose until end of year then turn it on at the end just enough to miss the playoffs and get a bad Draft pick. same story for the last five years. Get rid of these guys while you still can. Do you honestly think Hibbert or Rush are ever going to be very good players.

LMAO! Thats the funniest thing Ive heard all day! Danny is only 28.... He is by no means old!

Before we clean house, lets try a new coach, see what he can do. We have the trade deadline in about a month, we have some players that are good trade assets we can possibly trade for better players and maybe get a pick or two or wait till the off season when we have cap room to sign players.

We have young talent in Tyler, PG, DC, and Lance. Roy is going to be ok, Brandon, who knows

You're argument is flawed. Granger is 27 years old. Maybe Boston should of traded Paul Peirce when he was 27? Didn't he get reinforcements at like age 30 and still did pretty good, no? Pacers have been rebuilding for years, thus they were losing. It's common sense. Don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Do I think Hibbert can be a real good NBA player? Sure. What has he done to prove me wrong? He's just 24 years old. Experience is a major factor in his game, because he lacks it. Even Brook Lopez is struggling this season, but let me guess, they should just trade that bum too?

Your theory would work great on xbox, trade anyone who doesn't preform as soon as possible and make one sided trades to help the team. This isn't xbox man, it just doesn't work that way.

Instead of cleaning house, they need to ADD to them. Next summer they have to add a free agent or add a guy via trade and again in the summer of 2012. As mentioned before in another thread, possibly Eric Gordon Jr in 2012 but you have to be patient with young teams. Unless you're just playing xbox...
