Granger would be a perfect fit for the Spurs. The Warriors, Pacers, Rockets and Clips play alot of small ball. A lineup of Duncan/Diaw or Splitter C, Kawhi PF, Granger SF, Manu/Belinelli SG and Parker/Mills PG would be ideal.
With all the Spurs injuries of late and Pop playing his starters few minutes towards the end of the season anyways, I don't see a problem at all with the Granger getting minutes with the Spurs, which seems to be a major factor in determining where he signs, if bought out.
Time to sign on the dotted line Danny. Your buyout should be over by today and hopefully you are a Spur soon after. We need you and want you for this year and beyond. Go Danny boy!
When will the Clippers learn? You can't get better by signing every single sub-par Free-Agent in the market. Celtics tried to do the same thing from 2010-2012 when they signed Shaq, Jermaine O'Neal, Delonte West, Troy Murphy, Pietrus, Dooling, Wilcox, etc. Not giving a damn about chemistry.
Lol @ Clippers' Management.
It would be funny to hear Bill land reiterate which Danny it is that scores.
Granger is a Spur, book it . . .
Too lazy to look through the 13 pages...can any of these other teams (OKC, LAC, MIA) offer Granger more than the minimum at this point?
Actually, I think this will not be a problem. The Spurs go deep into their roster all season. If Granger is giving the Spurs quality minutes, he'll be on the shorter rotation come playoff time. We have a deep roster, but we also rest starters and limit their minutes, and when you consider the dearth of talent behind Kawhi (only really have two guards playing the three), he could get 20 minutes a night at a minimum. And if he plays at a high level, he'll get much more than that.
Miami and the Clipps can offer the minimum. OKC didn't use their MLE, so they can offer quite a bit more. They won't, however, go over the tax line and Granger would appear to be a poor fit there anyway. Same with Houston.
Assuming that Butler goe to Miami, the Clipps and the Bulls would appear to be the greatest compe ion
It's a good sign about his health if he feels healthy enough to want lots of minutes.
Thanks.
Another thing that could end up factoring in here....does Granger like, or dis-like, working with Boylen?
I don't see why he would be interested in playing with Bulls. A team that is going absolutely nowhere in playoffs. He has an opportunity to play for a team that can get him a championship and he has nothing to lose. He already got his big payday for year so why not loan your services out for a couple of months?
"@SamAmicoFSO: #Sixers, Danny Granger completing buyout, but interest not as high as reported. One GM went as far as to say zero interest. "He's done.""
Like I said in the last thread, I think that's good news. Doesn't seem like something RC would say.
San Amico is TRASH.
Reasons to choose Bulls:
1. Playing time this season to audition for one more lucrative contract from some team this summer.
2. Proximity of Chicago to Indiana
The bottom line is that all of us are guessing as to Granger's priorities and which teams may be interested in his services.
Here's a link to a Bleacher Report article on Granger. The writer seems to think the Spurs have the best shot at him. Not saying he'd be a savior by any means, but he does seem like someone who would be a good fit for the team. Maybe George Hill and Hibbert gave him some positive feedback on joining the Spurs.

The Clippers are interested in pursuing Danny Granger if he is able to secure a buyout from the Philadelphia 7ers, according to NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Multiple reports have said Granger and his representatives are in discussions with the 76ers about a buyout.
Granger would have to get the buyout by Thursday in order to clear waivers because the deadline for waived players to be on a team’s playoff roster is 9 p.m. Pacific time Saturday.
The Clippers would have compe ion in landing Granger. The San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat also want to sign Granger, according an NBA executive.
The Clippers view Granger as a possible starter at small forward. Granger was acquired by the 76ers on Thursday in a trade with the Indiana Pacers.

The Clippers are interested in anyone and everyone who becomes available tbh. Not surprised. Just due diligence imo.
The LA Times apparently needs a source to provide them with correct deadlines.
lol wut?
Picking up a player during the buy out period makes sense for a playoff caliber team. Picking up more than one, and expecting them to make major contributions leans towards a first round exit, just from chemistry issues alone.
