Bad news (for the "trade Granger" crowd)

by Center on Feb 8, 2012 7:05 PM EST

Listen to the first 5-10 minutes of Bird's Interview with Bill Simmons. Seems to me that the chances of him trading Danny Granger, after all he has been through with this team, are pretty small. I think Larry would like to see Danny retire with the Pacers.

I don't really have much else to day, but it won't let me publish this without putting some more letters in. Cheers to loquaciousness.

That's good.

I am all for keeping this team intact. I want to add more talent but not to trade talents. I believe our top 7 players should be kept intact. Add to that 7 and we will be a great team. Trade one of those might disrupt the chemistry and might ruin the “three musketeer” thing going on right now with this team.

All for one and one for all. Go Pacers!!!!!!!!!!!

There just aren't a lot of people that would be worth trading for.

The ones I want are too good or full of potential. The ones that teams want to trade aren’t good enough or overpaid.

I like Granger and want him to stay. He’s picked up his D. Just wish his shot was more consistent like it was a few years back.

And it's now my sig

I don't have a problem w/ DG

I am just not opposed to trading him. I don’t think there’s room on this team, cap-wise, for a true star, Danny and Roy after he’s (hopefully) re-signed. That said, if Paul George can become more consistent this year, and improve again by an even larger margin next year (as I fully expect him to do as he continues to get more and more comfortable and develop more respect from refs) then maybe we can afford Danny until he retires. Remains to be seen. Either way I’m not disappointed with keeping him. I like him as a basketball player, a lot, and I love that he’s stepped up his intensity on both ends, and seems to buy into the “closer” role, even if he’s not the best closer in the league.
