Dog, you act like The Pacers don't have post threats in Hibbert/West.

My thing is I don't really like Grangers game, when he's not scoring he gives you virtually nothing and his game doesn't really put pressure on the D. That is an expensive 6th man, if they got Evans and Garcia you get a shooter off the bench in Garcia and Evans makes their offense more dynamic. Their offense wouldn't change much if George became the feature option, and Granger became the number 2, it's basically a role reversal for the two, just that George has more potential.Personally, I'd wait to see where Granger fits in the puzzle (Granger could be a 6th man option) before all this trade talk. I named Gordon (with obvious limitations) because he's the type of player they need, not a combo-guard who isn't really effective at anything, besides taking it to the hole. Plus Granger hasn't had a George-caliber type of player (speaking in terms of where he is at now) to gauge his playoff performances. Vogel could continue to use George as the focal point and Granger as the #2 option.
Granger playoffs:
06 - Played 6 games (started only 3) and played a small part in the Pacers system.
11 - Played 5 games (played the #1 seed Bulls and arguably the best defense in the league) and suffered from offensive help. Next best offensive threat on team was Hansborough who shot 11 PPG on 33% and played with a 7fter who avg a measly 6.8 rebounds per game.
12 - Cruised past the Magic and was hampered by an injury through a major part of the Heat series.
I wouldn't attributed his unsuccessful playoff record to him getting shutdown at all.
I'm about to guarantee his bum ass a spot on the waiver wire in one of my fantasy leagues.

Injury didn't hamper him against the Heat, check his career numbers against Bron, he's on permanent timeout, that was par for the course.
In what sense? He's avg 21 points over the last four seasons (PPG has decreased mainly due to more balanced offensive teams).
How's it a bad thing that it'll be a role-reversal when we've only seen those two together, when George was scratching the surface of where he could be as player. With relatively inexperienced backcourt/wings, they need Granger's experience; they have a better shot at winning a ship this season with Granger than they do with Tyreke.
The injuries played their part, nevertheless it's still not cause to say he hasn't done anything in the playoff due to getting shutdown (like it's a regular occurrence).
