I bet none of you people seen Granger play, he is a sharpshooter, he’ll get better on the boards, try to dunk on him? He’ll block you, he is also one of the best perimeter defensive players in the NBA! He could score 40 a game if he wanted to.. but he plays defense unlike half of the players in the NBA.

He never bitched about a contract either, hes stayed quite. They need to give him a contract in the 4-5 year range though. He’ll be here for most of his career. Also Pacers will be better than what you think, they improved. 36-46 without J.O. and Tinsley most of the year, T.J. Ford can run the point, and they even got a center who will make an impact his rookie year.. Roy Hibbert.

I’ve met Granger a few times. He’s a humble, down to earth guy. He doesn’t seem the type to bitch about money. Dude has an engineering degree so he’s smart too. I think even he knows he’s not worth more than $8 million a year at this point in his career. By his own admission, he has a lot more to prove before he can be considered a franchise player for the Pacers.

granger don’t deserve tha type of money. 20pts and 6 boards? come on fam bam’s, that’s seriously over paying especially when he put those numbers up on a piece of shit team. he’s not even better than kevin martin and martin plays in the west and had too share the rock with Ron Ron and company….

there are no 7-footers on team USA, so either 7-footers are overrated, or we’re in deep doo-doo.

and the 7-footer thing is how we got to the adonal foyle/mark blount/erica dampier/jerome james/raef lafrentz world we live in; don’t you want change you can believe in?

IMO, Bogut->Underrated, Granger->Overrated. Granger should be a 40 million-5 years player, but since everybody overpays, a 50 million deal would be still nice. More than 50 and you’re seriously overpaying.

Bogut has been completely misused on Milwaukee. I’m surprised Mo Williams doesnt get cancer treatment around the league, even thought to be fair, here on Dime you burn him a lot. Bucks wont ever be a good team with him at the PG. Sessions has liabilities but he’s intriguing enough, and you need someone who pass the rock to Redd,RJ,CV and Bogut.

Difference between Bogut and Granger is that Bogut’s a 7-footer. Same reason Bynum will get broke off despite having just one good half-season.

@Franchise
Just reading that story on another site. That is crazy.

Can anyone say they thought Iggy would get a contract worth $22 million more over 6 seasons than JSmoove? Based on the playoffs it should have been the other way around. Between Brand, Iggy, Beast and Miller the sixers have almost $50 million per season tied up in 4 players.
