NBA
New York Knicks
Danny Granger

2013 NBA trade rumors now include a possible Danny Granger trade to the New York Knicks. This trade rumor with the Knicks seems to have begun with an article from The Sporting News on Tuesday (Feb. 19). In the deal, the Indiana Pacers would give up Granger in exchange for Iman Shumpert, Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, and James White.

The reason a trade like this works for the Knicks is that Granger can be a very tough defender on opposing small forwards. That would allow the Knicks to put him on LeBron James in the postseason and have Carmelo Anthony continue to log heavy minutes at the power forward position. He is also capable of putting up a lot of points on offense, giving the Knicks yet another weapon from three-point range.

Giving up Shumpert would be a tough pill to swallow, but getting an explosive player like Granger could be a difference-maker in the postseason. The reason the Pacers make a trade like this is to shed salary and bring on a young guard in Shumpert. The other pieces might help in the playoffs this season and White could add value in the long-term. Being able to get out of the contract ($14 million in 2013-14) that Granger has might make this a very hard deal for the Pacers to pass up.

These 2013 NBA trade rumors aren't the first to suggest a Danny Granger trade and they certainly won't be the last in the final hours before the deadline. The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers don't necessarily need to make a deal this season, but there are elements of a Granger for Iman Shumpert trade that simply make a lot of sense.

But he plays bully ball.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I understand Camby and White are throw-in's but giving up Shumpert and Novak for Granger is a little too much. Not only does Granger turn 30 in April but he's also missed the entire season. I'd rather keep Shumpert than gamble on Granger... Could be a shell of what he once was.

This trade only happens if we have a trade for Amare. If Granger could play SG even better.

Examiner.com is a fan site. It's not a legit news source.

Anyway this trade sucks for the Knicks.

Who are you to say whats legit or not legit. I read this on other news spots also. All we are now getting is rumors so don't get so bent out of shape. Practically everything we here about these days are rumors on this forum who is getting traded and who is not.

Bro, what do you mean "who am I?"? I just told you Examiner.com sucks. They reference a Sporting News article which isn't reporting a rumor but an IDEA. Read the SN article they are quoting. It's an IDEA. And Examiner is a FAN SITE. Stop getting defensive about every single thing.

It's not a rumor, it's nothing. I could start a rumor on Examiner. Doesn't mean it's a legit rumor. End of story.

Just because you say something sucks don't mean anything.It's not fact. I'm not going to get in a pissing match with you. Some of you think that rumors from known sports writers are junk. I just put it out there and here you come shooting out your opinion. I didn't ask for your opinion. If you want to start a rumor then do it. And I have a right to believe it or not. End of story! Let it go I posted it and I didn't say it was true or false. I just put it out there.!
