Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
I don't want JJ to go!
Pacers Fan will be pissed if he does... Where the hell is he tonight, anyway?

I don't want JJ to go either, but I honestly think it is going to happen.
As far as Pacers Fan, I have no clue where he is. Probably mourning because he knows what the signing of Granger means.

Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
Good Lord. How the heck did this guy slip to 17? Charlie Villanueva over Danny Granger? Are you F-ing kidding me? Some of these GMs are just morons.

Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
I don't like this pick, especially with Jarret Jack, Gerald Green, and more importantly Garcia still available. One of the last things the Pacers needed to do was draft another injury prone small forward.

That makes one of you, I haven't heard one person who didn't like the pick. Where do you get the idea that he is injury prone? This guy is a top 10 talent and will be able to impact this team more than anyone else left on the board could have. Danny Granger was an excellent pick at #17.

Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
I think it was a great pick, but I understand the need for someone like Francisco Garcia. Green is still to far away and the Pacers have had bad luck with high-schoolers.
Worst GM of the Day is Toronto's. Villaneuva is garbage at 7. I hope they trade him.

Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
To clarify, I don't like posting during drafts. I'd rather just sit there without staring at my mock draft and just enjoy the surprise, which is what I got.
After the Warriors passed on Granger for Diogu, I began to think abotu our odds to get him. LAL wanted Bynum or Jack, Orlando wanted a 2, LAC promised Korolev or would take McCants, the Wolves would probably take a 2, NJ was going to take a PF, Toronto would take a PG, and then he'd be ours. As it turns out, we passed on Jarrett Jack and Gerald Green, also, but I'm just fine with this. JJ may get fewer minutes or not be re-signed but Granger will be better as a rookie anyway.

I've only found that he's missed 3 games due to injury...

You'd think a team that just suffered one of the most injury filled seasons ever, and has Jonathan Bender on their team at SF would stay away from someone that has had to miss parts of his past three seasons. We definately don't need another SF with Artest, J. Jones, Croshere, and Jackson all able to put in minutes there.
What makes it more dissapointing is that in the only two areas that the Pacers possibly could need (defensive minded PG or height at the backup SG) there were still great prospects available such as Jack, Green, Garcia, or Head.
It's dissapointing, but not too bad.

Re: The Official We STOLE Danny Granger Thread
PacersguyUSA, and I say this with the utmost respect, you're an idiot. Granger was a great pick, and he'll be a good contributor for the 2006 NBA Champion Indiana Pacers. Be happy. You made a good pick, and you have a great team. On behalf of all of those who have to deal with being fans of a horrible franchise, stop complaining!
