    Waive Casspi or Garcia and sign Granger.

    Danny Granger is still better than our scrubby bench players in Caspii and Garcia.

    I can only see Granger playing PF sparingly. Backing up our wing players will be his role.

    1. lin could be a issue in playoffs if he doesnt get his act together.

    2. jones im worried about floor spacing, rebounds defense with him. He doesnt look for a shot at all anymore, his only points come off dunks and fast break points. If we had a guy like ryan anderson at the 4 to space things out i would say we could take the west this year.

    He would get a good supply of minutes here. He can be a stretch 4 off the bench. I don't trust Jones or Dmo in the playoffs yet and last year we were very successful using small ball.

    Bev / Lin
    Harden
    Parsons
    Granger
    Howard
    That's a good lineup in the clutch.

    Granger as the primary SF behind Parsons is perfect. We need to rest parsons anyway and if we want to go small he can take PF minutes too.

    I hope Granger isn't looking to start on a team because if so that team won't be good.

    Granger will take all Dmo's and Casspi's minutes and I wouldn't mind that at all, we can keep Hamilton and force Garcia into retirement, make him a coach or something, his game seems to be done.

    We'd have to wave someone, probably Casspi. He can definitely eat up some of Garcia's, Jones, and D-Mo's minutes as the stretch 4 and back up 3 guard. Don't see him getting anymore than 20 minutes a game though.

    It'd definitely make our bench look a lot more menacing.

    J-Lin
    Hamilton
    Granger
    D-Mo
    Asik

    If Granger wants to start, that rules out a lot of good teams he can join.

    pretty sure if we get him, either Garcia or Casspi will be waived.

    can he still play....?
