    Eh, I'd still rather sign Granger over Gordon. I remember a few years ago a good majority of the board on clutchfans were trying to get Morey to trade for Granger. Sure he's not as athletic as he used to be but if he's willing to take a paycut I don't see why Morey wouldn't sign him in the offseason or now if he's cut, over Garcia. No offense to Garcia but at least Granger can handle the ball and score a bit more effectively than he can. Not really sure I haven't seen Granger play at all this year and Garcia.. well Garcia/Casspi have been missing open 3's the last few games.

    Did some research and watched some of both of their games. I'm with c1utchfan925, Granger is ready to go. Gordon looks like he's lost most of what makes him good.

    Damn how many roster spots do the Clippers have? Everyone who hits the market is rumored to be going to the Clips.

    I'm suprised some of you didn't say "we already have Lin, don't need him"

    Insurance.

    We talking Ben Gordon here. Not Rajon Rondo or Chris Paul. Ben Gordon can't even get into the rotation in Charlotte and hasn't been very good for years.

    Gordon's best seasons were with Chicago. He might prefer to return there.

    Ben Gordon was a rich man's Luther Head; an overachiever because of the system he played but with very glaring deficiencies - height, strength, defense etc.

    If Jimmer goes to the Bulls, I think the Rockets will get Gordon. The Clippers have a lot of guards & should be adding Granger.

    Except, in the playoffs, he was the exact opposite of Luther Head. Gordon is super-clutch (see first round series against the Celtics for a good example) whereas Luther Head went 0-fer the entire playoffs.
