The 2012-2013 NBA Random Thoughts Thread

1 year left at $14 mil.

an expiring, somewhat productive player + pick probably gets it done. Not sure who, though Phoenix to me keeps popping up in my head.

Even Utah for Marvin Williams + Alec Burks + 1st rounder and throw in Hansbrough as well. You know Utah ain't saying no.

Tyreke + Garcia for Granger would work

Eric Gordon would be a better fit (contract and injury-history aside).

He's just not attainable though, of the realistic options I think Evans game meshes fairly well with Georges.

but evans doesnt mesh that well wit hill/dwest..

yall just need shooters maybe korver/stevenson for granger?

doesnt seem too realistic though.. maybe a pic to substitute a couple of the players.?

So, what can the Pacers get for Danny Granger? With Paul Georges emergence and his game, you gotta figure they'd want to give Granger the boot.

I don't necessarily like Tyreke Evans game all that much, but Georges game actually would mesh with his.

That all depends on Vogel. I don't know what that dude is doing on offense.

I don't see how Evans' game meshes with George's at all (or how he could be a benefit to the Pacers team); they need a player who can stretch the floor + counter collapsed defenses reliably.

Nah, they need someone who can break defenses down and create easier shots for Hibbert/George/West. Hill is not a starting caliber PG.

Neither is Evans.

Neither is Evans.

When did I say Evans would be a fit for that team?

They need someone that can break down a defense, they already have that floor spacer in Granger, but he's just not dynamic enough. Right now, Stephenson seems to have some of that in him and maybe can blossom into that but I do think Evans would work with George & Hill.

he keeps getting hired.

My critique was simply based on a SG's inabilites (Tyreke Evans) - I don't know why you'd propose a PG-antithesis to it, when I ain't arguing against the Pacers' needing a competent 1 guard.

Tyreke is a hybrid guard, dude. He can't play off ball because can't spot up or run around screens like a mad man.

They do need a backcourt player that can break down the defense + one who can stretch the floor; Evans ain't gonna be much help when George can't get it going and defensives' have collapsed cause they don't have a constant perimeter threat.

JJ Reddikk would be good on The Pacers.

What is your point - I fail to see why you quoted me?

Because Tyreke would be the primary ball handler on that squad and Hill would be the spot up shooter.
