    Bye bye granger..

    No but honestly, what would put them over the top?
    I think they need athleticism in the pf department and a good back up pg.

    I like PG. He's got a good head on his shoulders. Get everything done before the season starts so as to focus on basketball.

    The future is very bright for him.

    They need a relatively healthy and productive Danny Granger.

    I don't know why anyone thinks there is a chance George might leave Indy. It makes sense for him to get a huge extension now for financial security and it makes sense for Indy to pay him up to the max. And even if he does hit free agency, he is still gonna be restricted.

    Paul George staying in Indy is a given for at least 4 more years.

    Good... keep this guy in the Eastern conference. Besides Lebron, Paul George might be the 2nd best two way player in the entire NBA. There is just about nothing he can't do on the basketball court and is getting better and better every day on offensive end. Him going to a team like the Lakers and allowing them to re-tool overnight just wouldn't be fair.

    They don't need granger for the money he gets.. Especially if he will be coming off the bench.

    Is is gonna be Stephenson and PG or PG and granger..

    Granger might harm the team then do more good. They could possibly trade him to bobcats for Mkg if that's available and the caps work. Or even wizards for a sf and back up pg or picks

    It works out well for the Pacers since this is Granger's last year under contract. The Pacers can work out George's deal and have it kick in next year once Granger's 14 million comes off the books.

    Good job getting it done before training camp starts. I'll definitely watch a lot of Pacers games this year.

    Damn. That is a lot of money. But, he's young and balled hard in the playoffs, so maybe that's the going rate.

    Since I am admittedly dumb when it comes to salary cap information...why is George's 5 year max go for $90+ million while dudes like Harden and John Wall's 5 year max's went for $80 million?

    Thank you in advance

    George will only get the 90 million if he gets another All NBA team this year.
