    For some reason I get the feeling Granger would like to sign with Spurs. He's use to a small market team. He has more opportunity with the Spurs going forward. George Hill, Scola and Hibbert I'm sure out in good words about the Spurs. He to me seems like a player who wants to play for Spurs for one simple reson, he likes how they run there business. I could be wrong but that's just the impression I get from him.
    i hope so....he needs to get bought out first tho....

    He can word it differently "Look, my old team the Spurs, really needs a backup SF. I would like you to consider signing with them IF we buy you out".

    He's had his physical and talked to Hinkie. He wants to talk to Brett first before he definitely asks for a buyout.

    Yep, that would happen. We got Diaw though that way a few years back so I can't say it never happens.

    We got rid of a PG because we had too many. Let's go get a PG.

    NBA Rumors: San Antonio Spurs eyeing signing Danny Granger, Beno Udrih


    http://fansided.com/2014/02/22/nba-r...er-beno-udrih/
    That article is just rehashing rumours from the same source we already know about. The fact that the Spurs also have interest is purely speculation on the author's part.

    Plus, how credible is a source that explicitly states in his article that we "stood pat at the deadline" and "made no moves?" He didn't even bother to fact check.

    Only 1 of the PG's on the team can actually make a play and pass the ball.

    Reminds me of Rick James

    "I have a little more sense than to stick my muddy boots on a couch, yeah i stuck my boots on his couch."

    It just doesn't make any sense with Mills and even Joseph likely to get burn in the postseason.

    Granger is due $4.5M for the remainder of the season. He wants the customary 50%, $2.25M. Philly wants to pay him only $1M, because they think they might get something for him this summer.

    It's a game. I remember Diaw and Charlotte came down to the last day. Philly is trying to act like they have leverage, but they don't. All Granger has to do is threaten NOT to take whatever ty offer they have on the table, collect the $4.5M, AND not accept any sign and trades. Philly then pays full salary and gets nothing.

    I suspect Philly will not go the bargain-too-much route. They have stripped their roster so badly this season that it is clear what their game plan is and if they try to short-change Granger - a respected veteran, it wont go down well with the players they might seek to get in the coming season to round off a young roster. Granger will have to concede some, but not much.

    He's already conceding the customary 50% of his salary in exchange for his release. I wouldn't give them a penny more. Philly needs to look at his buyout as a $2.25M bonus included in this trade, and do it.

    Philly's under the minimum salary. They literally save nothing financially by buying him out. Any dollar they don't give to him they have to divide among the other players. Granger has no leverage on them in that regard.

    In that case, they should just release him without cost, if they're required to spend the money anyways.

    I hope Spurs are pursuing Granger religiously. He is the missing piece to our puzzle. Danny has a quick release and play his back against the rim, which Leonard is still working on. Danny can give us 8ppg easily!

    That's what they did with Clark. But it may be a case of them preferring to give money to the playera who aren't trying to force their ways off the team. The extra $250k could make a world of difference to some of the d-league projects they've signed.
