I LOVE this trade for Indy. Their bench needed a guy who could go out and get his. Turner + Scola + Bynum on their bench unit now. That is a GREAT Bench.

In one of those Bill Simmons BS Reports podcasts from last year? he had a guy claim Morey would call the Pacers every day about Granger. The Pacers front office had a joke that something must have happened to Morey if he didn't.
And with Turner and Hawes gone, the 76ers may not win a single game the rest of the season. That may be a victory in itself.
What's the motivation for the 76ers? Buyout? No pick from Indy? If they buy him out then the move kinda makes sense- just dumping talent to tank in an epic way.
