He's coming off an injury that was pretty serious.. sounds about right.. Spurs love old and busted.

Not gonna happen. Spurs can't make a better offer than Phoenix and isn't this dude making a decent chunk of change this season?
Yeah, spurs would either try to find some Euro guy nobody has ever heard of, some 3rd string bench guy who has "potential" or some 40 year old dude who used to be good.
Granger is only 30 and Spurs need to add salary and offload a couple guards while they could use another SF. In the meantime, Indiana needs another ball handler badly and we have three expendables there.
Who could we offer?
I know it's doubtful but I'm in favor of this.
2 questions. Did I just get sucked into another spurs rumor that won't happen and is this one going last 47 pages like the ak47 thread????
This would Turn our offseason from a C to an A+. We'd have to get another team involved to make the numbers work, but we'd more then likely he giving up Green and either Diaw or Bonner. Hopefully in this situation we could get rid of Mills or Nando
No assets Indiana would want that the Spurs can afford to give up.
Oh, the usual.... Bonner, Blair, De Colo and Mills. I'm surprised the Pacers haven't contacted the Spurs already. Who couldn't use a stretch four, an undersized Center with a heart of gold, a "mini" Manu, and a third string shooting guard.
Any combination of Blair, Bonner, Neal, Mill, and De Colo would be a good offer but I highly doubt this can happen especially with that report of Phoenix being deeply involved in the trade talks.
and somehow manage to always be in contention.
It was reported that Scola was traded for Gerald Green and a draft pick
Granger makes $14m next season. Assuming the Spurs aren't trading TP, TD, Manu, or Splitter, they'd have to trade Bonner and Danny Green and Diaw to make this work. No chance.
True or they would have to overpay the out of Neal & Blair and include Matt Bonner onto the deal... even then, I doubt this would be enough.
Actually, Bonner, De Colo and Neal and Blair on S&Ts would be enough salary-wise, provided that Neal and Blair had a combined salary of about $8 Million next season. If Mills were included, then Neal and Blair would only need to combine for about $5.6 Million. It's completely doable.
Now, finding homes for all of those players and being able to give Indiana enough value are different matters entirely.
I'd prefer a Bonner-for-Rush deal if Indiana is game. Perhaps De Colo would be enough sweetener, since Rush's main value is being an expiring contract anyway.
Assuming this were possible, how would he fit?
Someone convince me this isn't the RJ trade all over again?
This isn't even a real report. And trading Granger right now makes no sense for Indiana.
At worst, it would be the Jefferson trade if RJ had left after the first year instead of re-signing.
8 teams are always in contention in the west but the Spurs haven't won anything since 2007.
Could just be me, but expecting to win a ship every year could be setting the bar a tad high.
