As long as the salary doesn't put them over the apron.
They can still hire him as a FA if nobody claims him, right?

They can sign Granger, Clark and Davis. It's just unlikely that they all go there, hence me complaining they can't sign everybody.
Clippers pretty much have the same needs as the Spurs with more playing time and a bigger market to offer tbh.
got it
I doubt Davis gave up $6 Million (guess) to go to a big market for a few months. I actually don't think that the cities themselves will be a big deal. Buyouts are about front-running usually.
Spurs, Clipps, Heat, TBH.
We wanted to sign him before we signed Dice so this could be appeling to him.
Both Clark and Davis would be very good additions. Davis is the better player but Clark is the best fit.
Agreed. Clark is just everything we need right now. Daye could adress similar needs, but Clark is just a much better overall player.
Davis could be nice but we don't really have a shot. Earl Clark is going to LAC as well I think.
Now Granger could be awesome if he can get back to a decent level, giving us that size on the wings to play small without taking it up the ass on D like we do since Jack left...
Other than that any 4th big would be welcome, someone who can shoot a bit ideally...
per yahoo sports
The Orlando Magic have reached an agreement on a contract buyout with forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis, sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Magic tried hard to move Davis before Thursday's trade deadline but were unable to find a deal to unload him. The Los Angeles Clippers are the frontrunners to sign Davis, league sources said. Clippers GM and coach Doc Rivers coached Davis with the Boston Celtics and had discussions with Orlando in recent days about acquiring him. The Brooklyn Nets, who like the Clippers are searching for a backup big man, have signifcant interest in Davis too, league sources said. Also interested, according to one of the sources, are the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors.
Magic officials want to start giving more playing time to their young corps of forwards, including Andrew Nicholson, and were concerned with how Davis would handle a diminished role.
Davis, 28, is being paid $6.4 million this season and $6.6 million next season. The 6-foot-9, 289-pounder averaged 12.1 points and 6.3 rebounds this season for Orlando.
Davis becomes an unrestricted free agent Monday assuming he clears waivers.
Agreed. Clippers wanted to clear roster spot -Jamison and Mullens trades- for some buy out player. Like Heat with Mason's trade.
Doc is the bigger deal here, they're still close, tbh....
It would be great to get Davis but there seems to be no reason for him to not go to the Clippers. Unless he hates Doc Rivers.

Anyone know what's going on with Granger? Is Philly going to buy him out? The most unlikely scenario but he would be amazing off the bench.
Nice
I don't think the Heat players like him after the tough guy he pulled against them before and LeBron especially. I could see him wanting to play for a coach like Pop in a system like ours with the chance to either beat Miami or the Pacers if either of the teams get that far
Of Clark, Granger or Davis, who would you guys rather have?
Clark's the best fit but Granger would seem to be the most motivated if healthy... Especially against the Pacers or Heat...
Granger sucks, but he's a veteran that can make 3s, so there wouldn't be a concern over whether Pop would actually play him, which isn't necessarily the case with Clark..
Clark seems like the ideal smallball 4, but Leonard can fill that role too if there's another SF (like Granger) available.
There are many ways of going small, too. Technically PG/SG/SF/SF/C is "smallball" but isn't really that small. Pop's preferred configuration is PG/SG/SG/SF/big (Duncan, Splitter, or Diaw), mainly because of the lack of depth at forward. Something like Parker/Manu/Granger/Leonard/Duncan would definitely hold its own.
Then again I don't know much of anything about how good Granger is nowadays. All I know is that he is a true SF as opposed to Clark (combo forward) and Davis (PF).
Davis > Clark > >> Granger tbh.
I'll be the minority tbh. I'd actually prefer Granger over Clark, given the roles/system.

Big Baby >>> Granger? Give me what you're smoking.
You need to edit those writeups out of your post. MySA has a sore vagina and doesn't allow thier content to be posted here.
