imho bosh couldve been the best player on a very good team easy, hes not gonna carry a bunch of scrubs like bron can obvs but if you put a quality team around him in his prime and hes putting up 25pts a night you could do some damage for sure same w pau

Indiana Pacers Forward Danny Granger Says “Good Chance” He Returns Friday http://bit.ly/1fh4OIh by @andrewlynch
kind of weird how they haven't traded him yet
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 10 December 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link
not any value until he can stay healthy prob

maybe the Kings would be interested.

if he can play seems like indy prob wants to keep him

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/10112168/jason-kidd-brooklyn-nets-ranted-assistant-lawrence-frank-loss
Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd reportedly used a 13-letter word in an expletive-filled rant against assistant Lawrence Frank following the team's loss in Orlando on Nov. 3, NBA.com reported Monday."Sit the (expletive) down! I'm the coach of this (13-letter word) team! When you're on the bench, don't (expletive) move," Kidd said, according to NBA.com reporter David Aldridge. The report did not offer further details of what the 13-letter word was.The argument ultimately led to Frank being reassigned to a reduced role which Kidd described as "doing daily reports."Frank was told at one point by somebody in the organization to curb his behavior on the bench during games and not be as active and demonstrative as he was earlier in the season, sources told ESPNNewYork.com. The week before he learned he would not be helping run practices or sit on the bench during games, it was definitely noticeable that Frank wasn't doing as much.

Eh, he has an expiring deal, so his contract will finally be off the books. Since they assumed he'd be healthy and ready to play a full season -- and they're gunning for the Finals this year -- they assumed they wouldn't similar same-season value in return for a former All-Star / 20+ppg scorer. Normally (and this was the case in probably the previous three seasons) they would've tried to ship him off, but the return value would've been so much better.
Plus I don't think that there many teams right now willing to part with commodities in return for a hobbled volume scorer.

Like, atm I read Granger Back This Friday and think, eh, he'll probably be back some Friday in January, who cares, ship is sailing pretty smoothly w/o him.
Bosh on tonight's game: "No, it's not a championship game. It's like the 20th game of the season. It's tough to play like there's no tomorrow when there is."
― Call me Shitmael (CompuPost), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link
yeah he could conceivably be very helpful to them in the playoffs
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link
He was probably going to start coming into the season, but at this point there's absolutely no way they could take Lance out of that starting line-up. I guess it won't hurt to have him coming off the bench and taking some shots, but honestly I'd rather have Scola shooting spot-up 17ft shots than Granger willing his way to 40% shooting.
― Call me Shitmael (CompuPost), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:23 (ten years ago) link
how long has it been since granger was playing totally healthy, like two and a half years?
― Clay, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:25 (ten years ago) link
The beginning of last season-- the Pacers set everything up with Granger as the only #1 option, he gets injured, and for the first half of the season the Pacers had an almost historically bad offense.
― Call me Shitmael (CompuPost), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:29 (ten years ago) link
theyre still only middling even tho everything seems to be clicking beyond anyones wildest dreams, if grainger could come back and score decently off the bench that could help to stabilize things for sure
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:32 (ten years ago) link
he could be a great scorer off the bench if he embraces the role
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 21:43 (ten years ago) link
i forgot where i even heard this -- it must have been some podcast -- but bill simmons said that jalen was down with the pacers in the phillipines and he came away thinking tha granger was totally finished

“I put a high premium on talent and character, and Rudy Gay has an abundance of both,” said Bryan Colangelo, the former Raptors general manager who acquired Gay from Memphis last January in a deal that was widely regarded as a salary dump by the Grizzlies. “Obviously, Pete (D’Alessandro) has a mandate to increase the talent level of his team as opposed to depleting it. This move is a pretty good indication of that.”

watching him play pick up games? i'm not saying its gospel or something, just an interesting note from someone who saw a guy up close that no one in the public has seen play for like an entire year

like the pacers play such good D maybe just trying to dunk on the everytime rather than being tricky will work out better

yeah i mean, that was however many months ago, and granger still hasn't even played yet. safe to say jalen didn't catch him at 100%
