Don't mean squat. Diaw couldn't get off the snide here, but, you conspired with him to come there with yourself and CN and he's integral. Even if, I say even if Granger continues to disappoint there doesn't mean he'd a done likewise with you.

:lmao Greys still butthurt over a supposed "washed-up scrub"

6 ppg in 12 mpg is not bad at all.

[DPG21920]

I do not believe the point of the OP was to mock the PPG/Production. It's to mock the fact he was guaranteed very good minutes and he's playing 12MPG.

[poeticism707]

6 ppg in 12 mpg is not bad at all.

Yes it is, for the caliber of player he wants to return to.

And 13 mins of playing time? Doc lied his ass about playing time, lol, tbqh.

Bingo. DPG the only grown man on the NBA forum with reading skills, per par.

Without looking up his other stats, I'd say he's doing pretty well so far. Playing so little initially means nothing. Whether he made the right decision will depend on how much he plays going forward. He's scoring well enough (dunno about the other stats) to eventually start when Barnes comes back to Earth. However, he could end up getting even fewer minutes when Redick comes back and Crawford resumes his role as sixth man. Granger may find that the Horry role he was reported to get in SA would have been better than the McGrady role he may end up getting.

Nothing's set in stone either way after so few games.

Something is set in stone alright: Granger chose wrong. With Pop the mad scientist, he would have gotten more than 15 min in San Antonio: probably 25 ish. Not to mention WAY more attention, due to the team success.

But since he was blind, stupid, and greedy for "more," now he will have so much less.

Fitting, that Granger would forge the sword, and willingly fall upon it.

Granger would not have gotten big minutes in SA at all. He'd be the fifth wing and third PF. He may not have even been on the active roster many nights.

Granger can still be the second or third wing in Los Angeles. If he can't beat out Dudley or Barnes by the end of the season, no way he would have played for the Spurs.

[Venti Quattro]

Stats in the thread title are not bad at all for a player who goes into a team knowing his role as a bench trooper.

If I am able score 6 points in 12 minutes as a bench player I will be okay. This thread is grasping at straws.

You underestimate Pop's brilliance, the motion offense and unselfish Spurs culture is, how many offensive droughts teams go through, etc.

In the playoffs, Granger would have gotten even more notoriety.

Look at Horry, what did he do during the regular season? Nothing. But during the playoffs, he earned his keep, and then some. Look at Belli, he was never a 3 point specialist, but the shots are easier with the Spurs.

Granger could have gotten the same notoriety, possibly even a 3-5m deal depending on he did in the post season with the Spurs.

But since he wanted the easy way out, he shall have it...right out of the league.

this. No way he even gets close to 25 minutes per game here. And wouldn't have 12 ppg through 3 games most likely. He might get more of a chance as the season goes on.

"Pop's brilliance" doesn't change the fact that Granger wasn't going to crack the rotation. If he can't get playing time with the Clippers, he wasn't going to get it with the Spurs. I don't know why you'd want Pop to give an inferior player minutes anyway. I actually don't think the Spurs even really wanted him. They sure as hell weren't going to change the rotation for him. Doc may.

Stop being such a homer. Granger made the right decision. You don't have to hate on him for it. And he's not even good enough to be upset over missing out on.

Wrong on that score, friend. Because the Spurs are so great, they don't require much. And whatever he would have givem the Spurs, would have made them that much better than other teams, which they are now anyway.

But Granger wanted "playing time."

He'll be getting plenty of it soon... home with the kids.

[Chinook]

You belong upstairs with those takes. You just admitted Granger wouldn't get a bigger role in SA, but you just keep rooting for him to fail because he chose to play in his home town and get minutes on a good team instead of sitting in a suit in Texas.

Why is Spurfan still so butthurt? You have the best record in the West right now without Granger anyway :lol

Exactly. We should be happy our team has a good enough wing rotation to not have to play a bought-out player big minutes. It's like Spurs fans don't even know what to be mad at.

Because Granger is your kind of player. He's not a hothead, nor a sorehead, he's calm and collected, a professional. Those don't grow on trees.

Nothing wrong with lamenting his choice and his rejection of your team.

I do not understand why SF can never just take a slap in the face without getting defensive. Shit!

Not to mention Granger signed because he thought he was going to start. Barnes pretty much shit on his dreams. That alone warrants at least one ":lol Granger"

Is that a fact, or, are you too squatting on the plain?

[Cry Havoc]

I could see granger getting 10 mpg as a spur. It would be mostly during small ball or when Manu needed extra time off, though. Meaningful minutes would be sparse. But he would indeed be a decent tool to have in our back pocket.

[Cry Havoc]

It's not a fact per se, but there were articles written about Granger starting. So it's not exactly hokum and wishes they're talking about here either. Presumably Granger went to LAC for playing time... Why wouldn't he play for the best coach in the league if he had other motivations?

I ain't just talking out my ass, but, I believe he'd a proved himself season '14 & start come November. He's Jackson without all the luggage & histrionics. A mainstay, somebody who Pop could turn his back for 5 minutes and not worry about it biting him in the ass. Those kind of guys don't grow on trees.

Could be factors we're not privy to. I ain't tryin' to break your balls with a Johnny come lately campaign. I declared outright I did not want him in San Antonio so I'm on record. Just hit me immediately as a fine match.

[Rogue]

scoring 6pts in 12 minutes ain't too bad imho. Monkeyball still need time to make their refurbished squad function to the optimum level, tbh.

[ElNono]

Doc will eventually give him a larger role... I just don't think he addresses the main Clippers problem, tbh

[Gummi Clutch]

Its sad really, he could have done much better here...yet he goes to a fluke team that will get ousted early on in the playoffs.

[FYM]

3 games dude.... spurs fans :lol

create a thread when he will have more than 3 freaking games under his belt... stupid

[Blake]

So if Granger were to suit up in SA, whose minutes does he take in the playoffs? Bonner?

[cd98]

If Granger had the ability to step right in and play 30 minutes and average 18 points, Indiana never would have traded him and the 76ers never would have cut him. That said, you can't expect him to come into a new system with no practice and start right away. I'm betting that he is getting substantial minutes in about two weeks. All that matters is how he produces in the playoffs, and he's got a month to get ready for it.

Agreed.

[timtonymanu]

Are the Spurs defending a championship? Bringing up that the Clippers will be eliminated before the Spurs, which isn't even a sure thing, is irrelevant. Rarely a player ever chooses to go to the Spurs anyway except Marco Belinelli.

[kobe4life]

Granger made a mistake and he will pay dearly for it. He should have signed with the Lakers and be part of a new dynasty that we are building in LA. He could have been part of God's comeback along with our lottery pick.

[Rogue]

Granger's gonna be a FA this coming summer and he'll join the Lakers just in time for God's comeback, imho. Dude could've chosen Spurs to accompany Duncan who is Buddha, but he didn't, he chose LA instead and he's gonna stay here, tbh.
