Danny Granger got his wish: the Sixers bought out his contract, making him a free agent. After being on a legit contender, Granger had no interest in playing on a team in rebuilding mode.
The Clippers are emerging as a frontrunner to landing him, as Granger has expressed interest. If he does end up there, you have to wonder just how much playing time he’ll get. Given his recent health issues and Jamal Crawford’s role coming off the bench, where would Granger fit in? I’m sure Doc will figure it out.
Once Granger clears waivers in the next 48 hours, the Clippers’ ability to offer him significant playing time and championship contention under coach Doc Rivers makes them the most attractive destination, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Still, the San Antonio Spurs remain a viable possibility for Granger. The Spurs are selling Granger on a modern-day variation of the Robert Horry role in San Antonio, league sources said. Granger is expected to speak with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Buford in the near future, sources said.
