Granger is an upcoming unrestricted FA, and most likely leaving. I think he has a decent chance of getting bought out. The Rockets do have the room midlevel exception.
Jesus christ, Everyone is saying how scary Indiana looks with Turner but when it was brought up that the Rockets should trade with Philly to get Turner, people said he sucks and his stats lie.
Good move for the Pacers. They've been losing some games here and there and need a shake. Well at least Granger got to see Taiwan and the Philippines, and will get more PT.

I don't understand how this makes the Pacers better? Evan Turner is a volume shooter with horrible returns. He must be one of the worst offensive players in the league in terms of % possession required in order to 'get his'. Lavoy Allen is ... Lavoy Allen. Having said that, Granger has been garbage so far this year, and they most likely wouldn't resign him, so it's a chance to get someone else's bird rights I suppose?

Not really sure how Turner helps the Pacers so much. He's not that good. In fact he sucks on offense.
