I saw a trade rumor with Portland packaging some stuff together for Granger and playing him at SG

You need to stop going to whatever site that was

Granger has a chronic knee condition, is currently injured, and is older. If we can't get anything for Gordon no way they get anything for Granger. They are going to have to pay to get him off their books and they may well do that because if West resigns for the same amount and they dump Granger they would be $14 - $16 million beneath the cap. They'd need to replace DJ Augustine and resign Tyler Hansbrough, but that's a lot of money to work with and they are winning enough to be attractive to top FAs.

They'll also have to throw a boat load of money at Paul George the next season, so this is really the best chance to add a big money FA to the core for the next 2 years

I'm sure it was an article off of Grantland and they throw alot of ideas out there. But, if they buy out Granger, and he is healthy, then he becomes the 4th or 5th biggest FA available (Paul, Howard, Bynum, Smith,..?). Plus his position is a huge position of need around the league. There are tons of teams that need a decent SF, even just for a season or two.

Weird thing is, if they amnesty Granger, and he goes to the bid process. How high would a team have to go to get him? That would be an awesome deal if it was only a Brand level bid (2.1m)..
