    Watched him & James Johnson plenty of times this yr. James Johnson has been outplaying him, waiving brewer could've got that done.

    Granger has been bad that's why he was traded, dude looks real slow like he lost it, maybe his game comes back tho

    If JJ Redick isn't out for the season, then he probably doesn't play once Reddick comes back.

    Also, the Rockets can offer more money. For a guy who will never get another big contract in his life, I'm guessing every million counts.

    How come the Clippers always have the money/resources to get any player they want?

    Look at the 2013 offseason: Somehow got Dudley, Reddick, Jamison, Collison, and retained Paul and Barnes. And even now, they were in talks with Knicks for Shumpert. Now they are the favorite to land Granger?

    The Clippers are becoming the Lakers. Such a joke.

    He's been pretty bad. Don't know that he'd be the upgrade over Garcia(esp after seeing him last night vs LA) most seem to think. Shooting .359 on the year. In limited viewings I've seen he's looked done--athleticism is just not there.

    The guy was a tremendous talent in the past. What, just a couple of seasons ago? He's only 30. If he could come back to a significant fraction of what he once was, he'd be a positive addition to the team, in my opinion. Might be worth taking a flyer on with the Room Mid-Level Exception Bima dug up for our edification on the Front Page. He'd certainly have wide open shots with the Rocks.

    Sure, players want to play in LA. Dudley and Reddick came from trading Eric Bledsoe. He's, uh...pretty good.

    Jamison is less than a shell of his former self at this point. Nice name, sure, player, not so much.

    Barnes is a decent player, though I despise him, but he and Collison aren't anything to shout about. Collison is historically a backup, undersized PG.

    Maybe an offseason acquisition if he can get his body right. I think he would be dead weight this year.

    Granger is slowly rounding back into form after a looooong time off.

    For the room exception for 15-20 minutes a game why not.

    Garcia's not giving you much and it's a small gamble.

    True..they need a big, not another wing . They obviously have enough of them .Granger would better fit and be of use in a Rockets Uni.Plus we all know the clippers will not get past the 2nd round.

    Think granger seen his best days past.
    He is shooting 33% from three. For reference, Garcia and Casspi are both at 35%. All three attempt about 3 a game. Doesn't seem much of an upgrade as both casspi and Garcia can actually hit a 2. (Granger at 36% overall)

    we were never going to waive brewer before the deadline, he needed to be here as filler for salary matching purposes,

    I said it in the dish aswell he should go to the heat, he can get more money than he get get at the rockets or the clippers + he is on a deffent title contender, it comes down to luxury tax dollars if the owners are willing to pay him

    If you actually look at his stats you will see he is over a 37.7% 3point shooter when he gets 1 to 3 days rest (18 outta 29 games) which in the playoffs is every match, on b2b's he is a 33.3% shooter

    Underrated on this board

    Also hes getting back into form. He is only 30. Next season he could be very servicable.

    30yo? That would really skew the "one of the youngest teams in the league" stats.

    We have yet to be listed with Granger, Terry or Davis. It's kind of disheartening. Granger on OKC or SA is very bad for us.
