NOW that team is not a contender.....
#6 in the West bro
Something I read off the Clutchfans own Danny Granger thread:
" Right now:
1. Clips
2. Rockets/Spurs
Talked briefly with my homie today...It all comes down to the role. The Role. Danny isn't going to be happy with 10-15 a game. He wants to contribute more than riding around for a ring.
I don't see how the Clips can offer him any of that "role" or the minutes, but Doc is a POWERHOUSE.
But, not to fear,
I heard that Danny really LIKES the Spurs, but he doesn't like how S.Jackson was booted (they're tight) and the age issue. Also, his role on that team.
They're selling the Robert Horry role (legit) and (per HoopsHype) and my dude says Danny is not a Robert Horry.
He doesn't want to come in in the last 5 minutes for heroics.
He wants consistent minutes, a role and respect. Shoot, that's why the Heat never had a chance. Danny is a stand up dude. Real recognize real. (that last part was just me)"
The Mavs are #6 in the West you are correct...... They are not a contender to win it all. They are a good team though.
Everyone loves Pop but they are all afraid of him because he'll yell at them and hurt their feelings. Bunch of pussies tbh.
Yea he's going to LA. Book it.
Spurs are stuck with what they've got.
I've seen that picture bout 5 times today and just noticed it was Kawhi
..
The Spurs can't gurantee any minutes to Granger because they already made those guarantees with Ayres and Belinelli. Not enough minutes to go around.
Spurs without a backup SF since SJax been cut,would pay for that when they faced OKC, MIA, HOU in the playoffs.
RC sucked during the past half year.
Were people really surprised?
Anyway Granger wasn't going to put us over the top. I don't get why a lot of people on here thought he would.
Gee who did not see this coming??????? First it's the Spurs favorites and then some other tem swoops in to get him! Now lets go beat the Clippers ass in the playoffs again and forget about this dude. Who cares he will sign there. Now time for the real season to begin.This is the truth! He was garbage in Indy this year and they stole Evan Turner IMO..... He was not going to put any team over the top this year, he is washed up IMO honestly and is not worth a starting spot. He will start in LAC now, as one exec said he is done! I believe he truly is done. Now time to move on.
great sig. Kawhi in Wolf of Wall Street.
The Spurs were never the favorite. The media put the Spurs as the favorite.
When you see Spurs and Clippers respective rosters and with Woj comment about an Horry role, they aren't offering the same situation for Granger. Clippers want to have him as a SF and Spurs want to play him as a small ball PF.
At the end, I guess it will depend on how Granger assesses his career. If he thinks he is still a SF, he will go to the Clippers. If he thinks that, because of his injuries, he has to transition at the 4 slot, Spurs would be a good place for him.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Vinny Del Negro comes out of retirement and signs with the Clippers to as a player/coach like Kidd on the Knicks, lol. It's all up to Granger what he wants he won't be a player to bring the Spurs or Clips over the top. Clips would be building on having more depth to their roster, Spurs could use Granger so whatever.
This reminds me of Butler, when he turned down the Spurs only to get swept by them the same year with the Clips.
I think it is between the Spurs and Clips at this point. If the Spurs sign him, it will be Ayres, Bonner and Green who will be seeing reduced minutes. Granger needs to realize he needs time to completely heal and to adjust his style of play. Spurs are allowing that. Clippers want him to start and he will be going up against the Likes of Leonard, Batum, Parson, Iggie, etc, and at this point, and anyone of those guys would smoke him.
Unless Pop & RC pull out the ketchup Popsicles today, Granger will be a Clipper by Saturday.
I honestly care less if dude comes. It's not like he's the same Granger were all use too. That's why it was easy for Indiana to part ways. I'm a lil disappointed we weren't as aggressive as we should've been in the off-season, trade deadline and free agency but it. Were the Spurs dammit!! We make happen with no names and role players. You got some teams stacked with talent twice as good as the Spurs and can't even imagine the type of success the Spurs have. On the cool if MWP talkin bout comin then sign his ass. On the cool we need some crazy on this team especially come playoff. But me I still feel Malcom Thomas should've stayed, just my opinion.
You're too emotionally invested into something you have no control over.
i've never really been able to figure out how he would even be in the rotation here. maybe, based on matchups, he gets a few minutes here and there against the longer teams but that would be about it. as far as i know he's not a shut down defender and his offense has been less than prolific lately.
Nothing can be said that hasn't already been said. I don't want Granger to be our starter under any cir stances. If we play small ball, I'd prefer it'd be Ginobili starting.
But this talk for "minutes", I really have no idea why Granger believes he will get significantly more minutes in LA. Crawford, Re are going to come back soon and take the bulk of 2/3 minutes. Then Matt Barnes is going to be the second 3 off the bench. I could see Granger beating out Dudley.. but Dudley is shooting better this year than Granger. Maybe as a back-up 4? But they just signed Davis.
At least for the Spurs he knows what he's getting. He should be fairly confident he could beat out Ayres and Bonner. I think you add that, plus taking a couple minutes away from Green or someone of the sort, he's looking at 15-20 minutes a game.. and that isn't putting into account the games where we will rest players. Plus, lots of team play small in the playoffs. Idk, it's just a no brainer to me... I guess that's why I'm a Spurs fan, though.
