Report: Clippers Pursuing Davis

according to yahoo and its sources, the clippers are trying hard to sign baron davis.

Sources: Clippers pursuing Davis

this is worse news to an already sad day. one eastern conference gm in the article is quoted as saying that hes already got to have a deal somewhere to opt out of his contract, which is even more disheartening. I wonder where he's gonna go now...

Davis’ decision stunned league executives and agents late Monday.

“He has to have some kind of a deal somewhere,” an Eastern Conference general manager said. “You just don’t opt out of that kind of money.”

Davis’ career had been reborn under Don Nelson’s small ball, but acrimony over contract talks have cooled the relationship between the Warriors and him. What’s more, Davis could be facilitating a sign-and-trade between Golden State and Los Angeles, or elsewhere.

The possibility of bringing Davis to the Clippers promises to be a major incentive in re-signing their own free agent, forward Elton Brand.

clipper fan checking in

You dont want to sign and trade with the clippers… we wouldn’t have the salary to match a davis contract unless you want maggette (you’d give him a new long term deal??) and either moble (2 more years left) or thomas (2 years left also i think), but you have a lot of wing players and guards already. I think we could include future 1st round picks too but I dont know how much the clippers would be willing to give up.

If they couldn’t sign baron outright they should resign brand and maggette and get Udrin with the MLE.They’re a pretty good team right now especially with gordon and thornton coming off the bench. They just need a point guard to run the show and keep the defense honest for brand and kaman.

interesting few days ahead

If Baron really does go to the Clippers out of FA and Brand returns, that would be very bad for the Warriors. We would lose Baron to a conference rival and they would we very strong with Baron and Brand, also we wouldn’t get anything in return, our hopes would rest on bringing in a FA. Arenas looks like he’s going back to the Wizards, so does J Smooth.

Rebuild mode looming?
