They don't..
Yes and Bullock
They don't..
He would play more than all of them...maybe not Barnes, but Granger would not have a hard time beating out Dudley or Turk.
Clippers have a complete logjam at SF. Granger would be dumb to go there.
Signing with the Spurs makes a lot more sense just out of familiarity (& indirect association) with the team tbh. Other than the weather and area, I don't see how the Clippers are a more desired destination.
He would be, but we have questioned decisions before to know better than to say Spurs make the most sense.
Dumb take, especially considering he had no problem spending all his career (up to this point) in Indiana.
We all hate Boylen for bringing Ayres here but he could be the key to us getting Granger.
I hate him for forgetting we have kawhi leonard on the team and therefore being a ing idiot. That said, it would take him, Brett Brown, George hill, scola and hibbert to say enough good things about the Spurs to win granger over to want to play for the team.
Though I have no idea of Granger's relationship with Ayres and Boylen ( yes I am well aware they were on the same team), I feel like if he goes 'west young man' the Spurs are an obvious choice. We have a need for him. If he is deluded and thinks he has to be a starter, then he should stay and enjoy the cheesesteaks and great harmony singing of Philadelphia.
Always liked Granger but he has been pretty house in his comeback this year. I'd love to see him sign with the Spurs not just for this year, I wouldn't expect much apart from playing some minutes behind Kawhi if healthy enough to stay on the court. But for next year and beyond is where he can be most useful, re-sign him and we'd have a continuous experienced lengthy SF who can score and do a bit of everything, he'd be just about the best backup SF in the NBA. If he could come here, stay here, integrate himself as a solid backup SF I think he could have maybe 4 or 5 good seasons for us from now until retirement. I wouldn't like him as a half year rental. I'd like him to retire a Spur if he can be healthy enough to get himself to the finish line.
Granger finishing buyout today. Confirmed.
The Kawhi thing was an accident, it happens, we're human. He admitted to it, and it's over. It was ONE regular season game.
Now the bringing over of Ayers?
UNFORGIVABLE
Granger would get most playing time in LA. Houston's got Parsons and Harden on his positions, Miami's got James and they don't like him and Bulls are .
I guess it'll be betwen the Spurs and the Clipps, with the Clippers signing him cause of the playing time.
Of course the Clippers are going to swoop him up. The only thing that would sway that would be if he thinks of them as contenders or pretenders. With the latter part being true (my opinion)
A lot of people here seem to be able to think they can predict the future; why not just wait and see what happens.
Also, still confused on how people think the cluster that is the Clippers forward position equals lots of playing time for Granger.
Then again if his main concern is playing time, the clippers are probably the best suitor. As some have mentioned, Pop doesn't promise playing time. You earn it in practice. Whereas the Clips, Doc may just start him, which would seem very enticing to him.
It's fun to speculate.
How many spots do the Clipers have? It feels like they keep signing people.
2 more spots.
Wonder if this still holds true.
While we are waiting for the Granger contract to get bought out and subsequent drama on where he signs, I wanted to revisit this Beno rumor. At first I thought it was nonsensical. Kind of like a rumor that NY writers came up with because they always overvalue their roster. But then I started thinking that Patty Mills is really a two guard when he plays with Manu. Manu is the primary ball handler and Mills is the shooter (they just switch it up on defense). I don't see that changing off the bench, but I'm guessing that Pop may worry that if Parker gets injured, there isn't a true point guard on the roster. Joseph can dribble the ball up the court, but he's not a pure point guard and he can't shoot. I'm wondering if Pop is looking for a more solid backup point guard and an insurance policy for Parker. I'm not sure who is droppable on our current roster to add a Granger and a Beno type player. I can't see them dropping a big guy because those are limited commodities. I could see them dropping Joseph, but that's kind of a tough pill to swallow unless they truly think he will not get better.
Best case scenario: granger gets hit by lightning and lead the spurs to 5th le.
Worst case: he gets hurt while eating.
Worst case: he signs with another contender and is the X factor that forces the Spurs out of the playoffs.
Likelihood of either happening is slim though tbqh imo fwiw.
