Jackson, Granger for Peja??

It's funny how fickle people on this board are. Peja is shooting terribly now, but I'm not quite sure if he's mired in a deep, long slump. I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks out for 30+ in one of the next few games.

In the six games before he hurt his finger, his stats were:

24.2 ppg
5.8 rpg
3.3 apg
51% fg
47% 3pt

He was again beginning to play like 2003-2004 MVP candidate Peja. It's a long season and he'll be back soon.

I AGREE WITH VLAD!!!!! We all know Peja is soft and never will be good rebounder but...

Recently he has been playing with an "injury" to his hand. It's probably not as bad as he says it is although he says that it's the worst sprain he's ever had. Give it time.... just look at his stats before the injury.

Exactly.

Aside from the stats, that's what I've been saying since his return from the still-injury, and people were/are (everywhere) going crazy because he isn't playing like he was before the injury. It's going to take at least a handful of games for him to get near-going well again.

we're missing 1 piece.

bibby
garcia
bonzi
kg
miller

that lineup would be killer.

i have enough faith to start garcia at shooting guard. he's developing much faster than kevin martin. bonzi is much tougher than. peja has a strong weakness, it's called dribbling. bringing in KG would be as good if not better than a healthy webber. brad miller is better than vlade. this squad would be better than the 02' team.
And just how do you think Petrie would convince McHale to give up arguably the best all around player and athlete, who is still young and in his prime and maybe the most dominant force in the game today, not to mention?? For just Peja and picks or scrubs?? Yeah, keep dreaming.

And why would that lineup be "killer" ?

KG played with Cassell, Spree, Sczerbiak and Olowokandi/Nesterovic, who are not shabby players themselves. Brad Miller is also definitely not better than Vlade Divac. At this point, yes ... but in 02 ? Not even close.
