LOS ANGELES -- Forward Danny Granger has signed with the Los Angeles Clippers,
adding more veteran depth for the clubs playoff push.
Ernie Banks Jersey . The former All-Star
joined the Clippers on Friday after his contract was bought out by the
Philadelphia 76ers, who acquired him in a trade with Indiana last week. Granger
cleared waivers shortly before Los Angeles announced the deal. Granger could
play significant minutes for the Clippers (40-20), who lead the Pacific Division
by four games over Golden State. He is coach Doc Rivers second major free-agent
addition to the Clippers in the past week along with veteran big man Glen Davis.
Despite the Clippers stellar record, theyre eager to add depth after several
significant injury problems this season. Most recently, guard J.J. Redick has
been out for nine games with a bulging disk in his lower back, and his status
for the regular-season stretch is uncertain. The Pacers traded Granger to
Philadelphia along with a second-round pick for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.
Granger had spent his entire nine-season NBA career in Indiana, becoming an
All-Star in 2009 while averaging 25.8 points per game. Granger led the Pacers in
scoring for five straight years, but he played in just five games last season
while struggling with a knee injury. He then missed nearly the first two months
of the current season with a strained left calf before returning to average 8.3
points and 3.6 rebounds in 29 games. Paul Georges emergence in Indiana made
Granger expendable, but he could be a key contributor to the Clippers, who need
depth and secondary scoring. Granger chose Los Angeles over several suitors,
including Miami, Houston and San Antonio. Granger could make his debut for the
Clippers at home on Saturday against New Orleans. The Clippers traded
Antawn Jamison and Byron Mullens last week to clear roster spots for veteran
additions for the stretch run, and Rivers has filled them with two of the
biggest prizes available. Davis joined Los Angeles on Monday after his contract
was bought out by the Orlando Magic. Davis, who played for Rivers in Boston, was
averaging 12.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in 45 games this season. Davis made his
Clippers debut on Wednesday in a victory over Houston, and the energetic big man
got a standing ovation from the Staples Center crowd. The Clippers also added
veteran Hedo Turkoglu last month. Los Angeles got good news Thursday on guard
Jamal Crawford. The Clippers top reserve has no major structural damage in his
strained left calf, and he hopes to miss only two games before returning next
week.
Matt Harvey Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out
the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs
point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two
years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that
comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions,
fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a
kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

. Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with
a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the
allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents.The
NHLs Mar. 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on
whether to buy or sell. Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation
from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the
updates. Millers Crossing Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News writes that
netminder Ryan Miller is unsure about his future with the Sabres. Heading into
Wednesdays game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Miller said, "anything is
possible" when pondering if it was his last game in Buffalo. Asked point-blank
by The Buffalo News if hes told the Sabres he wants out - or told them hes
all-in to talk about a contract extension - Miller remained elusive. "Thats not
really something I want to discuss with you guys," he said. "Its a private
conversation about a business transaction. Really, thats what it comes down to.
Im waiting to see kind of what the plans are around here. That would kind of
give a little more indication. "They cant execute anything they might be
planning until some time passes, where they make some trades or they have some
kind of indication whats going to happen. Even then, theres no guarantee theyre
going to get everything they want. Its just kind of well wait and see."
Harrington also wrote that Sabres GM Tim Murray pretty much confirmed that hes
in limbo on dealing Miller as well. Murray said the Sabres are studying options
all over their roster but the scuttlebutt around the league is theyre getting
plenty of inquiries on pending unrestricted free agents Miller, Steve Ott and
Matt Moulson, as well as interest in defenceman Henrik Tallinder. ";There are
players on the team were certainly going to go forward with, young guys that
they fit what we want to do," Murray said.
Juan Lagares Jersey. "In saying that, if a
team calls and they absolutely knock your socks off, then I guess Ive told a fib
by saying were going to go forward with a certain player and Ive traded him. It
doesnt look right, but thats my motto. Im willing to listen on every single
player, so Im certainly listening on Ryan. Is that our plan? I guess well see
what other teams have to say." Moving Mike? While TSN Hockey Insider Bob
McKenzie reported Tuesday on Twitter that the Calgary Flames and Mike Cammalleri
are "continuing dialogue on new contract," Wes Gilbertson of The Calgary Sun
says it would be a surprise if the clubs highest-paid player wasnt moved before
the deadline. Staying Focused Derek Van Diest of The Edmonton Sun writes that
Oilers centre Sam Gagner is focused on helping Edmonton win games rather than
trade speculation. "Its something where you try and block it out," Gagner said.
"I think its an easier thing to do the further you are from the trade deadline,
but as it creeps up, its sometimes hard. I think its important just to focus on
your game. I have some things that I need to continue to get better at, and
thats something that Im trying to focus on right now, trying to help this team
win games, and hopefully, I can do that heading towards the stretch here." Deep
Freeze Joe Haggerty of Comcast Sportsnet tweeted out that Boston Bruins GM Peter
Chiarelli has had trade talks but doesnt see them making any deals before the
Olympic roster freeze.
