HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Last week’s NBA trade deadline was just Phase 1 of the late-season player grab for contenders looking to upgrade in certain areas and give themselves a push in the right direction with the playoffs on the horizon.
Phase 2 is the buyout market, when teams lock up veteran help at an area of need when teams start purging their rosters of players that were moved last week or veterans on lottery-bound teams in search of work with a contender. And that means we switch our focus from superstars who were rumored to be traded (yes, you Rajon Rondo and Pau Gasol) to those players who were actually moved or probably should have been (guys like Danny Granger and Caron Butler, headliners in the buyout market).
Now it’s just a matter of matching the right player with the right team …
DANNY GRANGER TO THE … LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
The Pacers didn’t have any use for Granger with a younger and much cheaper option available in Evan Turner, but plenty of other teams are interested in adding him to their mix for the remainder of the season and playoffs. He reportedly spoke, via phone, with five different teams Thursday, per Marc J. Spears ofYahoo! Sports. Granger explored the possibilities with the Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls. A free agent-to-be this summer, Granger knows that the work he does between now and June, should it last that long, is as a temp. He’ll have time to find the long-term fit in the summer, which takes some of the pressure off right now.
==============================================================================
NBA官網和美國各家運動新聞剛剛發佈，Granger將明天在美國星期五最後一天將和快艇簽約！！！
快艇打敗熱火、馬剌、火箭和公牛，Granger似乎決定加入快艇。
=============================================================
心得感想：
快艇5個位置，唯獨小前鋒最弱，往往無法對抗身材高大的LBJ或是KD，而讓比賽末段讓Griffin得去防守他們。但現在Granger將補上最後的弱點，讓Barnes防守回去防守得分後衛的球星，Granger也不用背復快艇得分的重擔，專注在防守和適時三分球，拉開各隊禁區包夾Griffin的陣地戰。另外快艇不只是有希望挑戰冠軍，而Granger可以先發、同時在快艇能維持出賽時間。大概這點是讓他最終選擇快艇~ 快艇如果 JJ和Carwford傷愈的話，整個隊伍陣容相當完整，最後Dudley大概是最慘的，可能完全被擠掉出賽時間
這新聞大幾乎確定，因為美國Yahoo、ESPN等証實Granger親自打電話給快艇教練Doc，將和快艇簽約；而他被76人買斷最終時間是美國東岸時間星期五下午5點
現在看來Lakers最想哭，LA的老大早已經換人，而且目前湖人還是西區爐主，過去人人想到湖人，現在時空背景完全不一樣了
