    He'll fit well there. Great fit actually with Lebron at the 4. Plus he'll be showcased late into the playoffs. It's a 1 year rental but it's his best option. I hate the heat.

    Granger is a true asset to every contending teams.
    Hope we get a tiny chance to have him.

    I think he goes to the Spurs, and re-signs there in the summer.

    How many SF's in Miami? How many minutes will he get? Even if you move Lebron to the 4 and Wade to the 1, he is competing with Beasley, Allen and Lewis >> all of whom have a head-start understanding the playbook. Don't discount the fact that he needs a long term contract. If he signs with Miami and barely plays, no one is going to pay him big bucks in the summer. Miami certainly can't afford to pay him much.

    He should come to us, and get his revenge in the finals.

    I would love to see Rockets pick him up after he gets buyout from the sixers.

    A backup 3 for Parson or a stretch 4? Heck yea, you know we will need a backup 3 in the playoffs. Parson just cant play that many mins and still be effective in the playoffs. Plus Granger can play somewhat limited on defense at this level.

    Revenge? Just how was he wronged, exactly? I suspect he wants to play for the Heat because they have LeBron and because Miami is a great city.

    Do not want.. people are still thinking he's the all-star from a few years ago.. he's been horrible this year with his 36% shooting percentage.

    His team traded him and his new team is dumping him. What is he supposed to do, go sign with the Bobcats to prove to some dude on the Internet how courageous he is?

    He's been out for 2 years. It takes time to get back into the swing of things. He's been looking better lately too. To think he has no chance of becoming a contributor isn't fair. And it's not like he's Brandon Roy.

    I don't see the harm in bringing him in, I'd sign him for this year and the next and see what happens.

    I would still trust Granger to back up Parsons WAY MORE then Asspi.

    Maybe you're not the competitive type.

    I know that if I had the choice to go anywhere I wanted, I wouldn't be joining forces with the team that knocked me out of the playoffs two years in a row.

    I think it has to do with him getting injured and the emergence of Paul George being the franchise player when he was out, then when Granger came back he got regulated to the bench.

    That's fair.. I was just looking at his game log and it didn't seem to appeal to me. He has decent defense and length though so I guess it wouldn't hurt.

    Danny granger would be great. His defense is pretty good and 2 years ago I always thought of him as a less athletic and talented Lebron considering they have a similar build and both can play SF and PF. Granger would be a nice bench player in my eyes subbing for t jones and parsons. Defiantly would add depth. I think he's worth signing just for his build because he can put the size on small forwards but is still pretty mobile.
