LeBron is their #1 option though

[timtonymanu]

Just another scrub for LeBron to carry to a le.

[HarlemHeat37]

Interesting signing, tbh..

Butler is a proven team cancer, as is Beasley, I wonder how Spo and Lebron will manage this..

[JohnnyMax]

He shoots 38 percent from field and 36 from 3 point line

The impotent Texan semen cloud is hovering above Granger now.

Upstairs is in complete meltdown mode right now at the mere idea that Granger would want to play anywhere other than San Antonio....

But who would pass up the chance to play for a burn victim, 7 foot closet case and city full of fatasses?

Did you see this post? Granger the face of the franchise

Honestly you have to take a look at the following:

Clippers have no history of winning and won`t be in the finals which will produce a blow up like always
Clippers have some big ass egos
Spurs can tell Granger that he can almost become the face of the program for 4-5 years maybe longer, once TD/TP/MG start to fade. Heck he can take Duncans role very soon it seems
Spurs have a way better chance of winning this year opposed to the Clippers
Spurs are an ORGANIZATION and FAMILY


I love the fact the Clippers can GIVE him a starting spot. What does that tell the other Clippers? You guys suck! If he does go there ya it will sting but honestly it will sting more cause I hate teams that never build, always trading, bring in the big names, make a blockbuster deal and throw all eggs into the basket hoping it turns out once.

[Venti Quattro]

Full circle for Caron Butler imo

[baseline bum]

just give em the trophy already IMO

already did at 28.2

[D-Wade]

I'd rather have Granger than Butler tbh, even though Butler has already played with Wade. I've seen Butler live a few times recently and he doesn't seem to have anything left.

[jimbo]

Apparently the Heat org/Wade really likes him.

I especially love the "what does that tell the other Clippers? you guys suck!" part.... considering his compe ion for minutes has a.) openly apologized for his play on Twitter (Dudley) and b.) said to the media that his "days might be numbered" on the team (Barnes), I think they already know

And as for the "ego" part, Pop has the biggest ego of all, benching Duncan during 6 and then pulling out the infamous "European question" line to deflect it in the press conference, and Enrique has a major ego himself, heroballing every game and already positioning himself to bolt for the Knicks as soon as Duncan retires

[ElNono]

adds depth... not sure he'll see much playing time in the playoffs under normal cir stances...

[Rogue]

Miller's departure left them thin at SG/SF so it wouldn't be a bad signing for Miami imho.

[Chomag]

How this team can sign every top free agent every-time I don't think I'll ever understand.

More power to them I guess,

OP is the NBA forum version of ChumpDumper, tbh

the league is made these days. everybody wants the path of least resistance, hence the Decision.

[UZER]

Unless the path of least resistance is in San Antonio.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Smart move by Miami, as usual. Picking a player that everyone is overlooking for Granger. They have virtually no compe ion for him, unless Granger makes his decision first.

[HI-FI]

Unless the path of least resistance is in San Antonio.

I never understand that. SA wouldn't be the top of my destinations but it would be much higher than a lot of places, especially if I wanted to win. Maybe Pop or RC explain them to their "roles" and they are like " that, I want the damn ball".
