    Lol you just proved my point! I agree that Danny gets lazy against inferior offensive players, but it's not like Brewer went for 30. Dude scored like 18-21 pts.

        I don't know, if he goes to one of the more KKK leaning areas late at night he might not come out all squeaky clean.

                    That is a good question.

                                    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)
                                    He cant guard Mello and he struggles against high energy guys like Brewer and the dude from Denver. Danny can be a good defender when he wants to, but he's not a stopper or a guy you put on the other teams best player like Deng and Iggy... guys he's usually compared to.

                                        Danny isn't a stopper by any means, and he's a much better shooter/scorer than those two. Those two guys never had to shoulder the offensive load DG's had to in the past.

                                        We've all had this argument countless times, I just don't think he's a below average defender. Stopper? Not at all. Good defender? Very much so

                                            Danny has one of the best value contracts in the league. He is well respected as a quality player and seen as the perfect second option on a title team. I do think hos age and health are going to be a factor in trade value soon, but if we had to blow it up tomorrow, I think we could get good value for him.

                                            That said, unless we blow it up, Heisenberg not going anywhere. This team has been built with him in mind, he is the perfect fit for his role, he is a perfect fit for Indiana, and it's not like we could trade him for a Lebron, Kobe, Durant type of guy. He and DWest are the big brothers on this team and all the young guys know those two have their back. It is our identity, and really no one else is going to fill that role.
                                            It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

                                                i think Danny is safe. this team wants to build off of last season. 2-3 years from now when Granger's contract expires ask again. alot of that will depend on Paul George's development.

                                                the question i would like to see answered first is Paul George a more natural fit at sg or sf? if the latter than Granger prob needs to be moved from a business perspective. but with Granger wearing the blue and gold since day 1 that has to be taken into consideration.

                                                i guess it comes down to Grangers value when his contract expires and George's development.

                                                        His 2pt% has been falling. His 3pt% and his FT% have stayed pretty high

                                                            I'm not unhappy with Danny. Until he can't perform, I'd say that's when it's time. Until then, keep on keepin' on.
