How can we get Danny Granger?

I think he would be an incredible fit in P-Town. 32 points 5 assists, 4 boards tonight beating the Lakers. Avg 24.2, 5.5 rpg, 2.4 assists.

He signed a 5 year extension this year for somewhere between $60-64 million. ...so 12.8 mil/year. Do we have ANY shot at a trade to pick up Granger?

Solid person. Solid all star calliber talent at the 3. Travis+Martel+?

I would say there is a shot to get Granger. It would involve a LMA.

Why can't we just ask nicely?

Honey gets you a lot further than vinegar, dontchaknow.

I’m sure if we just made them a nice pie and asked nicely, they’d give us Granger for RLEC. It’s only fair. This is OUR time.

We could point out

how nice we were to give them Jarrett and Rush for two guys who never play, and maybe they would feel kindly towards us.

The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.

Oh, another thing

We could toss in a second round pick or two. I think KP has some of those lying around in his garage.

Indiana would be nuts...

… to accept a Granger for LMA straight up swap. The package would start with LMA but certainly not end there.

agreed

they just locked him up to a long term extension before the season (just like we did with Martell), and while that doesn’t make a trade impossible, he does have the Poison Pill Provision, which makes trading him with someone of a similar salary impossible without including other parts from both teams.

I don't think you understand

Getting Granger would really help us, and so would keeping LMA.

Why would we trade him for Granger when we want to keep BOTH? Makes no sense.

It’s like you don’t get how stuff works. Other teams and their good players exist for our purposes only.

The simple answer is no.

I don’t see the point of trying to think of a way to get him though. Batum and Outlaw are doing a good job. Webster will hopefully come back from injury well too. We don’t need an All-Star player at every position. It’s not worth the effort concocting a way to get around the contract restrictions.
