Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Danny was a pretty good defender last season. His knee has had some issues, but what he's experiencing right now is due to the PRP treatment, same reason Bynum isn't playing. He may look much stronger in the knee after the treatment rehab is complete, it worked for Kobe Bryant. I hope Granger retires a Pacer. He's supposedly looked great in practice, and looked great in the last pre-season game. He also played the best ball of his career post-asb last season. If he doesn't start off shooting like dog crap this year it could be a big time comeback year for Danny in the eyes of the leagues average viewer.
We were a top 10 defensive team last season, how elite do you think PG's, Hill's and Hibbert's defense is since we start apparently in your mind, two defensive scrubs in Granger and West?Last edited by daschysta; 10-24-2012, 10:11 PM.Goodbye Captain, My Captain.

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
He is not going anywhere... Because nobody in their right mind would trade for a guy like him making that kind of money, not only that but it looks like his knee is starting to be an issue, unless the Pacers think about giving him away for nothing I don't see a team trading anything of great value for him.
Danny is here to stay forever until his knee or back falls apart ala Foster.This space for rent.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Danny Granger was at the casino in Cleveland the other night unfortunately he quickly went from the 2/5 buy in table to the 5/10 buy in table LOLPeck is basically omniscient when it comes to understanding how the minds of Herb Simon and Kevin Pritchard work. I was a fool to ever question him and now feel deep shame for not understanding that this team believes in continuity above talent.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Do you really think a team in their right mind would trade for him and his high salary and give something of value in return? it's not even about me liking him or not it's about reality, his knee has been an issue for a while now, remember the time you wanted to trade Dunleavy before his value went to the toilet because of his knee? yep same story different player.@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
LOL - coming from the guy who wanted to trade him for Monta Ellis, who is one of the worst defenders in the league. How did that turn out for the Bucks?
If you look at the stats (opponent production), Danny is actually an above average defender. But then again, that's based on statistical evidence, and facts can never trump your agenda.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
He's one of the main pieces to the championship puzzle. He's a very good shooter/scorer, decent defender, and he rebounds. If we don't have Granger, we don't have a (somewhat) reliable 3pt shooter. He'll be here for a while unless we pickup a better SF in free agencySmothered Chicken!Comment

If they would just institute an instant replay rule it would be clear to everyone that the umpire blew the call and Danny was out.BillS

Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
I've never understood this Danny is a bad defender thing. Outside of Lebron (who kills everybody) I can't think of a single player "lighting" Danny up. (In fact, during the first 3 games of the MIA series, Danny was even giving Bron a little bit of trouble.)
He's had his lapse in effort where a less talented player has scored 15 points, but I just cant recall too many games where Danny is just taken to school.
If you want to complain about his shot selection, and maybe his tendency to force a shot or two--I can see it.
But his defense? I've thought since the coaching change, Danny's defense has gone back to Pre-MIP Danny. (less athleticism, more physicality)Comment
