    He's definitely getting waived. 76ers are trying to tank for Wigging/Embiid/Parker. Granger could help them win games, which is what the 76ers clearly don't want to do. Plus, he's gonna b**** and whine until he gets waived because he clearly has no reason to be there. Him getting waived is a win-win for both parties.

    Granger isn't winning games for anybody at this point. If that wasn't the case, the Pacers wouldn't have traded him away.

    Lebron, Battier, Beasley, James Johnson... I don't know if they would be interested in Granger, nor Danny interested in getting there.

    OKC would be the biggest threat. They have more money and a perfect spot for him.

    There's no reason for the 76ers to even take that chance. They goat 2nd round pick out of Turner and Allen. Granger was nothing more than a filler contract to Philly.

    I haven't seen Grainger play this season but just his name on paper on the bench makes this team a top 4 team in the league. MIA/OKC/IND/HOU.

    Stacked!

    Dude is shooting 35% from the field, hasn't been able to stay on the court, and sports a pricey contract. What makes him so good, besides his name?

    Okay Parsons, we passed on a star PG to keep you. Time to once again earn your paycheck! Do you think we kept you for your basketball skills?! You need to get on the phone and begin the recruitment! Tell him about how you'll win a championship with or without him! Tell him about how you'll be the best small forward tandem! Tell him about the slumber parties and sexting sessions the Rockets have with one another!

    Get er done Parsons!

    (While you're at it, you need to be calling Love everyday now so his body is ready come free agency)

    It will probably be the Clippers...If I am Granger why wouldn't you want to play in LA with a pass friendly guard.

    PG: Bev/Lin
    SG: Harden/Hamilton
    SF: Parsons/Granger
    PF: Jones/D-Mo
    C: Howard/Asik

    that would be sick. I wonder who would get cut out of the rotation though, D-MO? and have Granger/Parsons at the backup 4?

    The Clippers will pick one of either Granger or Davis. I doubt they sign both. I can see them signing Davis over Granger because Doc has coached him before.

    Dmo has secured sizable back up minutes for the foreseeable future. Hamilton doesn't change that.

    Clippers have Dudley, Crawford, Matt Barnes, Turk

    They don't need granger. They need back up big men
