Who Will Grab Granger?

[Lionsman81]

Granger has been bought out by the 76ers who will Grab him?

[groundsupport]

I hope he goes to Miami. lol

[realreodeal]

Spurs, OKC or Miami

[RBKSNIPZ]

Knicks maybe?

[Sikkcaden]

I see him going to the west somewhere, whether its the clippers, phoenix, warriors or spurs. He has homes in LA and New Mexico.

[SteveO21]

He still hasn't actually been bought out. It's expected to happen today but it hasn't happened yet. He may find it a little harder to find a contender that wants him than he initially thought it would be, especially with this little bit of info coming out...

"Several teams are expecting a buyout to occur and have started doing due diligence on Granger and his long problematic left knee.

Sources close to the situation in Indiana say that Granger had let up on the routine conditioning that has become an almost daily requirement to keep his knee workable and that, combined with his ending contract is what lead to his trade from the Pacers."

He has to be released and signed by a new team by Saturday in order to be eligible for post-season play.

Yah right.. He is bitter at Indiana for trading him.

I got my money on Miami.

[Wolves4Life]

Indiana Pacers is my guess.

[SteveO21]

Indiana Pacers is my guess.

Can't happen. Terms of the new CBA prohibit teams from signing a player that they traded for a minimum of 1 year.

[groundsupport]

Indiana Pacers is my guess.

Why? Some guy named Evan Turner has his spot....

[Lionsman81]

Yah right.. He is bitter at Indiana for trading him.

I got my money on Miami.

True that. I hope not. He would be killer with Golden State though. Curry, Thompson, Granger. It would be raining 3s

Thats just random speculation though lol I could come back and be like "He hates Miami with a passion, he would never!".

I really see Phoenix, if theyre interested. His knee needs their medical staff lol

[SteveO21]

Except for the fact that Granger has been an atrocious shooter this season because he no longer has any elevation on his shot. He shot 36% from the floor this season, including 33% from behind the arc. Also, the pace that the Warriors run would leave Granger in the dust. He can't keep up anymore.

[Lionsman81]

Thats just random speculation though lol I could come back and be like "He hates Miami with a passion, he would never!".

I really see Phoenix, if theyre interested. His knee needs their medical staff lol

I think Granger is a guy who only cares about winning. I think he ends up in Miami for the reason that he wants to Win a title and even without him Miami is gonna win the Finals so it's time for him to hop on the bandwagon.

[avjp87]

I'll never understand how players have this much power in the aspect of not playing for the team they were just traded to.

Oh but it's not speculation.

He's been dealing with trade rumors for 2 years and has always said that he understands it's a business. I don't think he was shocked or pissed to be traded, it was just the team he got traded to. IMO

[lukeouh]

Does anyone know why Philly even did the trade?

[SteveO21]

Does anyone know why Philly even did the trade?

That's what I've been trying to figure out. Maybe they thought Turner was going to end up costing them a couple valuable losses in the tanking race their in.

[avjp87]

Does anyone know why Philly even did the trade?

for grangers expiring contract. it was a little more then turners contract.

[Prospectorsadvantage]

That's what I've been trying to figure out. Maybe they thought Turner was going to end up costing them a couple valuable losses in the tanking race their in.

Evan Turner has a strangle hold on a team's cap this summer until he signs a deal. Purely financial.

[lukeouh]

Because Granger has no upside while turner does. And then they also got rid of Allen on top of it. If they release Granger, they traded: Turner, Allen for a second round pick

[bigcwd2000]

I really don't understand why Granger was pissed when he got traded. He should have saw it coming and expected it. I'm pretty sure he has been on the trading block for a while now so it shouldn't have come as a surprise to him. The Pacers are playing much better without him and he wasn't preforming at the level they needed him to after his injury. I'm sure he will go to a contender though.

[SteveO21]

But they had Turner's Bird Rights which makes the cap hold irrelevant.

[Rabie1]

i think the Spurs.. i just feel he fits well with them.

[SteveO21]

I could see him going to San Antonio. Their pace fits with his current ability.

[Gurds]

i think the Spurs.. i just feel he fits well with them.

you mean because he's old???

[indyguy]

I'll never understand how players have this much power in the aspect of not playing for the team they were just traded to.

Huh? It's been rumored that Philly was going to buy him out as soon as the trade was announced. Granger has nothing to do with it. It is all Philly.

It's pretty simple:

1. He has been there his whole career.

2. He led them through a lot of crappy seasons with very little fan support.

3. They are expected to compete for a title.

Why wouldn't he be pissed?

[avjp87]

i'm saying in general, not just this situation.

[indyguy]

i'm saying in general, not just this situation.

Ah, got ya.

[avjp87]

Ah, got ya.

yeah, but more so when a player does get traded and don't wanna play there. the dude that does it allllll the time is Derek Fisher.

[Wolves4Life]

Why? Some guy named Evan Turner has his spot....

What spot? Granger is a bench player at best now.

[indyguy]

What spot? Granger is a bench player at best now.

That's what Turner is on the Pacers.

[Wolves4Life]

That's what Turner is on the Pacers.

Wouldn't be bad to have two decent bench players.

[indyguy]

Wouldn't be bad to have two decent bench players.

Granger can't come back to the Pacers this season though.

[Wolves4Life]

Granger can't come back to the Pacers this season though.

ah, Never heard of that rule, Or I did just forgot.

[LeonfromNC]

Granger has been bought out by the 76ers who will Grab him?

Hopefully the Clippers so they can be more "built for the playoffs" and escape the first round :)!

[CP3toOKC]

Maybe the thunder? Since big baby davis signed with the clips, they have already made their choice. The thunder has been quiet so far, with the exception of the perkins injury this morning, they will either go with a veteran big man or a 3pointer.

[indyguy]

ah, Never heard of that rule, Or I did just forgot.

Part of the new CBA, so fairly new.

[Srt42004n]

OKC........

[SteveO21]

The Heat just signed Deandre Liggins to a 10-day contract, filling their only open roster spot. As I said earlier, a team has to sign Granger by Saturday in order for him to be eligible for the playoff roster.

Naturally if the Heat really wanted to sign Granger they could just waive Liggins and eat that little chump change for the 10-day contract, but wouldn't you think they would just leave that roster spot open for Granger if that was their plan in the first place?

[SteveO21]

As of right now, there still hasn't been a buyout agreed to. Kinda odd that it is taking this long if they're actually going to do it. Evan Turner will be in uniform and playing Granger's usual minutes tonight for the Pacers, yet Granger and Philly still haven't figured out what they're doing.

[Hegotgame15]

San Antonio would be a perfect team for Granger, he could really be a big help there...IMO

[ClipsSkins916]

I'm suprised only one person mentioned the Clippers...and Leon the Clippers will get out the first round quit your hating:D

[dasiegel]

spurs would be great, i think he can still be elite again barring injury, the have done a good job with duncan out there.

[benz35]

OKC - sub for Perry Jones 3

[lukeouh]

Jimmer and Granger to OKC:
PG: Westbrook, Jackson, Fisher
SG: Thabo, Lamb, Jimmer(tweener)
SF: Durant, Granger, Roberson
PF: Ibaka, Collison PJ3
C: Perkins, Adams, Thabeet

Roberson goes to D-League.

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." - Sam Amico

I guess that one GM should resign then, because he clearly doesn't have a clue since the Spurs and Clippers have both expressed interest...according to sources

Pretty sure that was meant to read as that GM had "zero interest" because "he's done", which after watching Granger play this season isn't that far off. He was horrible for the Pacers this season.

[oshmeehan]

He will get picked up though I hope he doesnt. He's such a douche

[martell0323]

granger will always shines whichever team he goes to, i appreciate his work ethics and consistent performance since new mexico

[indyguy]

He will get picked up though I hope he doesnt. He's such a douche

I'll disagree with that claim.

[SteveO21]

Sources: Clippers are frontrunners to land Danny Granger (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--clippers-are-frontrunners-to-land-danny-granger-220910360-nba.html)

Granger and the 76ers finally reached a buyout this afternoon. Once he clears waivers in 48 hours, it looks like the Clippers will most likely the team to sign him unless San Antonio sells him on the "modern-day variation of the Robert Horry role" aka the "15 minutes a game to jack up 3 pointers because you're too slow and unathletic to do anything else at this point in your career" role.

[boombaby_rm31]

i hope he signs with the heat... most dramatic ecf.. ever!

[ClipsSkins916]

i hope he signs with the heat... most dramatic ecf.. ever!

won't happen they're going after Caron Butler which I wouldn't mind having instead of Granger

[Lionsman81]

Clippers signed him according to ESPN

[boombaby_rm31]

i wish him well

[f1element]

who cares, he is washed up !
