Mike
3 games over 30 points this season against the Knicks. I know you guys say we need to trade him while his stock is high and to make room for Granger and blah blah blah, but I would literally be pissed if we traded him. He has got to be our best player right now, unless JO is all of a sudden healthy, that is. You gotta love this guy as a player. The only flaw he has is defense. Heck, since we got him, i'm glad that we never signed Peja.
Do you guys think that we can be successful with Granger and Dunleavy as our starting SG and SF? I think we can, especially if Granger fulfills his defensive potential.

Re: Mike
if granger can improve his defense, assists and work a little more on his ballhandling that would be great.
i think we need a pg who can defend. our backcourt defense is weak right now and we need help there.

Re: Mike
Granger is our best player. I wouldn't mind keeping dunleavy, but if a good oppurtinity arises we shouldn't be quick to trade him.
By the way, the game was great fun last night. Saw Eric Gordon and D.J. White there walking. My friend got Eric's autograph.

Re: Mike
He's had one hell of a season. But let's not forget that we are a horrible team and Mike Dunleavy has been able to do whatever he wants on offense because we have nobody better. I'm not saying he's a no good player all I'm saying is he isn't as good as some of us make him out to be. That's why while the rest of the NBA thinks hes really good we should trade him to free up cap space.

Re: Mike
He can't fake his numbers the way his percentages look. I don't think he would accept being a 4/5th option on an offense anymore like he did in Golden State. He knows he is a scorer now and he won't let a coach tell him otherwise. That is why I don't think he will go back to the old Mike, his confidence is finally high and I don't see it going down. He will make a great second option the rest of his career.

Re: Mike
I wouldn't just throw him out the window like most of the Pacers, he's show he can play. I would'nt ever consider him a lock-up though. Granger is the only Pacer that is untouchable.

Re: Mike
i say not even granger is untouchable. however, the deal would have to be very sweet to get me thinking about it. but, granger is the last player i'd be looking to trade now. and as far as dunn is concerned- he really improved this year. in fact i'd say he is a legit m.i.p. this year. he is a legit 3point threat who has show he cantake it to the rim and finish as well. if he can just improve his defense, he will be completely worth his contract although i'd say he is already very close.
