Freddie isn't going to be a 3rd stringer. Ron Artest is not a SG, and even Stephen Jackson there is pushing it (I think he's more of a SF). James Jones will most likely be a 3rd stringer if he's re-signed, but that will be at the SG and SF. Freddie will still get some solid minutes.

And Granger will help insure that. He's starter quality, only he'll be a great bench player for a few more years.

Artest has unbelievable endurance. For instance, Tracy McGrady or Kobe Bryant could be great defenders, but can't it their all because they always give all their energy on defense, and don't want to pick up fouls. If Green is going to be a 20ppg+ scorer, we won't be able to afford him not playing D.


Garcia isn't any more of an upgrade defensively than Freddie. He's so thin, he'll constantly get pushed around. Green I mentioned earlier.

On a team that doesn't need a starter. This gives us great 6th/7th men in Freddie and Granger. We missed a backup Forward who could score when Al Harrington left, so Granger will really help.

Green is a SG, and if Artest was kicked out of the league in the next 3 years, Green wouldn't be able to step in.

I think that Granger will be seeing some key roles and minutes. JJ will be the backup
