NBA questions with the deadline approaching – Part 5
Will the Indiana Pacers trade Danny Granger?
The Indiana Pacers have received numerous offers from various teams to trade Danny Granger to them but the Pacers are really not interesting in letting their top scorer in the league go away. The only thing that can convince them to let go of him would be
the fact that they have Derrick Favors being traded to them.
Though the Indiana Pacers have made several attempts to sign Favors and have failed in doing so each time but this hasn’t hurt their hopes as they look to continue their attempts to sign Derrick Favors. Though there are very slim chances of Derrick Favors
ending up in Indiana but this hasn’t stopped the Pacers constantly trying.
On the other hand, Danny Granger who they are willing to trade if the other side of the party involves Derrick Favors is maintaining an average of 21 points per game. Though there are speculations that he might be traded to the New Jersey Nets with the statement
that he has what it takes to turn things around in the Nets camp but it doesn’t look like as the Nets need a drastic change. The change can only occur if Danny Granger can take his points average quite a lot up which also has very few chances.
Though the New Jersey Nets are interested in Granger but giving him up for Derrick Favors is one thing that they need to think about considered the fact that Favors is a low post scorer and is coming up with decent performances and trading him away may cost
them dearly.
Can the Milwaukee Bucks stay healthy?
The Milwaukee Bucks are another one of the teams that aren’t suffering due to insufficient resources. The Bucks definitely have the talent and experience but the only thing that is hurting them a lot during the course of the season is the injury that the
players are facing on a regular basis.
The only two injuries that have affected them adversely are to Brandon Jennings and John Salmons. With both these players coming back soon and the Eastern Conference not being so tough there is still a chance of the Bucks making their way into the play-offs.
There are a few places shy of the eighth position in the Eastern Conference which is the final play-off position.
Milwaukee Bucks have been able to come up with decent performances in the absence of these two players and they have strong chances of making it into the play-offs once they return.
Last time out at this same stage they were in a good position in the Eastern Conference but lost they star player at the time in Andrew Bogut. Though they made it into the play-offs into the play-offs last time out but couldn’t manage to come up with the
performances they displayed during the course of the regular season.
This year, once the two injured players return Milwaukee Bucks will surely get back into the play-offs and if they are successful in maintaining the current squad then they have a good chance of playing strong during the play-offs.
