The Pacers' agreement with forward David West on a three-year, $36-million deal on Tuesday coincided with ongoing exploration of possible trades for Danny Granger and Gerald Green, league sources said. Teams have been anticipating that the Pacers would be inclined to move one or both of them, especially if they re-signed West. The Pacers, who also have reached an agreement with backup point guard C.J. Watson, have to clear future room under the tax threshold as they plan for giving long-term deals to Paul George and Lance Stephenson.


Despite the Pacers' desire to find a destination for the often-injured Granger and Green, they're finding "no market" for either player at the moment, one rival executive said.

I kind of hope they don't find a taker for Danny, we win a ring, then send him out right.

Apologies if this is already posted.

Re: Pacers make Granger available - Ken Berger CBS

I, for one, am shocked there is no market for Gerald Green.

[Psyren]

Nice find. Hadn't seen it posted.

But no real news. We already knew we've been shopping both, but I doubt we find a taker on either (Granger needs to prove he's healthy, and Gerald, well, sucks).

Pacers are throwing a kink into the plans of much of PD if another team takes the bait.

I see no green font, why?

Yeah that was my thought on it... Danny was here for all the ****** losing years right after the event that shall not be named, and he was a leading scorer on a hopeless team coached by he who shall not be named... Dude deserves to come and win the ring with us next year.

Re: Pacers make Granger available - Ken Berger CBS

At this point, I don't see how we could get another team to bite on Granger without us taking on some awful contracts in return. In that case, we might as well see what we have in him this season and just let the contract expire.

Might as well put it out there just in case something crazy happens (we all know that GM's lose their **** from time to time). I doubt the FO is really expecting much to come of it, or that we'll take on poo platters just to move them.

Didn't think it was necessary. Besides, the Nuggets should be taking a hard look at Gerald Green. Think about it: Pairing up JaVale McGee and Gerald Green? Bar none, two of the most athletically gifted players in the league who just so happen to be the two dumbest players in the league. Unintentional comedy potential through the roof.

That would be fantastic.

Re: CBS: Pacers offering Granger in trades. Oh, and Green obviously.

Does this mean they havent got any offers? Or they are asking to much so they havent got any offers?

Reason I ask this, no team would give a 2nd round pick for green?

Re: CBS: Pacers offering Granger in trades. Oh, and Green obviously.

There's really limited options to do anything that makes sense. Maybe one of the teams that's chasing Dwight misses out and says "screw it, it's one year, take this Green guy and see if Granger's still got it for a year." Or you're taking back significant salary that, if it isn't on big expiring deals, complicates next summer even more, a package like that would be really hard to find.

Honestly, I don't really see the point in trying to trade Danny this offseason given the qualifiers. Unless they're trying to dump him for free basically and do something really crazy.

I don't know why you guys are believing this report, Green of course, but Bird said he's not trading Danny.
