A Danny Granger deal might make a lot of sense for this team.

According to Chad Ford, he's on the block and the Pacers want a young big man and/or a point guard in return.
We don't really have any salaries that match, other than EG (which works straight up) or Ryno/Aminu/Passquez (which I would rather not do).
So... while he may not be worth our lottery pick, but maybe he is in this draft. That would give Indiana a massive trade exception that they could turn around and use to bolster their team.
Also, Granger being injured means the team won't get immediately better, so Indiana may feel confident that our pick will still be a good one.
The plus side being that he only has 2 years left on his deal... so if he has nothing left in the tank, we're only on the hook for his $13 million for one more season after this one, and it's an expiring which is worth something at trade time.
Maybe we could swap picks with Indiana as part of the deal so we could keep a late 1st rounder to keep developing the team.

Yeah, I just don't think he is a good fit for this team. It's too much money for an older guy with health issues. It's too big of a risk..
Besides this team needs more speed in the backcourt. I know the idea was brushed aside, but I like Vasquez playing the 3 or as a point-forward type of position. Thompson played a ton of it last night and Vasquez is pretty much the same size. That would let the team add a quicker pg, which is what they need. GS backcourt killed the Hornets last night..

I know this board has had a huge boner for Granger for years now, but he's getting old, his numbers have been going down every year for like 4 years now, and he's hurt all the time. And he's got a huge contract that he isn't worth.
I'd rather someone like Chandler Parsons or Wilson Chandler than Granger, honestly.

The Hornets need to increase their talent level, not redistribute it. The only good trades for the Hornets would be if a guy is getting dumped, they are getting paid to facilitate a trade, or they can trade their draft pick for a young vet that fits well. They just don't have enough assets to trade for a good player without it being a 1 step forward 2 steps back move.

How does filling up a hole at SF by creating another hole at SG help us at all?

Just what this team needs another high dollar player who spends more time on IR than in the game.

Jennings or neaux
