Both works with Grangers contract
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Philadelphia is sending Evan Turner as part of a package to the Pacers for Danny Granger, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
Not sure who Indiana gets in return. Probably second round picks. But I'm sure they are trying to get rid of the salary, and the 76ers need someone who can score. Granger is still working his way back, but I'm sure 76ers are counting on him being a double digit scorer by season's end.
Philly about to start losing by 50 instead of 40 after the trade deadline..Coach Brown, I feel you pain dude..
The Basketball Jesus making some awesome moves. First they get Bynum and dont let the Heat have him. And now they replace a deadweight in Granger with Evan Turner who could do very well off the bench for the Pacers. Building a dynasty is what is Bird doing.

Indiana has traded Danny Granger to the 76ers for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen, league sources tell Yahoo.
That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Yup and outside of Lance, he's probably their best ball handler now.
Huge get for the Pacers. Lavoy Allen isnt half bad either
Granger used to be a really good player, and the Granger of 3 years ago would have been lethal on the Pacers. things change, and good move by them to net something out of his bloated contract
Who the is going to play the 4 and 5 for philly...this is embarassing for that organization
! That's a great pickup for Indiana. Turner fits in over there compared to playing on the Spurs.
Turner is a great addition for the Pacers especially since Granger is done at this point. Slightly helps the Spurs if it can help Indy get past the Heat tbh.
Smart move by the Pacers. Granger has been a non-factor the past 2 seasons. Turner gives them another weapon. Great trade.
Look beyond his decent first two playoff rounds last year, which people tend to overstate.
They're in full tank mode now. They get Noel for next season to play the 4 plus whoever they draft to play the 5.
So the Sixers have still one Player too much, right?
nice trade
I like the trade for this year, but no way with his cap hold they keep him around next year with Lance's contract coming due.
I have seen teams tank before, but philly has taken it to new levels with this crap...
Getting Turner at least doesn't improve Indy's chances if they play the Spurs, but it'll be huge against the Heat.
Damn! Indiana is stacked. Taking down Miami may actually happen this year...
Most likely, if Granger not bought out: Granger at 3, Thad at 4 & Mullens at 5.
His contract is not an issue. They are not in LT danger and he's off the books next year.
