Baron headed for Clippers (http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nba/blog/2008/07/baron_headed_for_clippers.html)
Baron Davis, who surprisingly opted out of his $17.8 million contract with Golden State, is on his way to signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, a person with knowledge of the situation told Newsday.
Though the person cautioned that the deal was not completed and that Davis' camp had not yet closed the door on returning to the Warriors, there are strong indications that he'll be returning to his native Los Angeles.
If the deal goes through, the question shifts to whether Elton Brand will see the addition of Davis as reason enough to re-sign with the Clippers. Brand also opted out last night on the eve of NBA free agency, but his camp told the Clippers he intended to re-sign with L.A.
That means they're not re-signing Maggette:
PG Baron Davis
SG Cuttino Mobley
SF Al Thornton
PF Elton Brand
C Chris Kaman
That's a nice team, but...with the Clippers luck and BD's history, it'll be amazing if he can stay healthy.
-
holy shit mobley is still alive?
-
welcome to the playoffs Clippers and welcome back to the lottery Warriors :-\
-
Well at least this secures we'll be holding on to Monta...
To say the best today has not been a good day.

If Arenas doesn't sign with them now, it's curtains

:banana_trippin:
-
If Arenas doesn't sign with them now, it's curtains
how would that work with Monta Ellis who basically plays the same way but with no jumper?
-
wow good 4 tha clippers

Fine, it's curtains already.

lol If we didn't have money for Davis, what makes you think we'll have money for Arenas?

doesnt really matter man, the current warriors team w/out baron is not even close to a playoff team, I hate to say it because I have had so much fun watching GS w/ Baron play but the Warriors are finished now, on the radio they said GS offered Arenas a 5 year deal worth 100 million but he was offered 6 yrs and 127 million from the wizards so the Warriors wont be able to sign him either, GS is done.

Wasn't Arenas offered 100 mil for 5 years? I think Davis was just considered too old and injury prone to get a satisfying contract extension. I think he's going to stay with the Wizards anyways.
Portland and Clippers in, Warriors and Nuggets out.
-
Yeah sorry to say it cause they were fun to watch, but GS is probably going straight back to where they were in the 90s. Oh well. Sorry Warrior fans. Pretty shitty last couple of days for yall.

GS offered Arenas 100 million over 5 years. That's pretty good money.

eh... :sleep:
Baron Davis is sick. But going from Golden State to the Clippers just means the Clippers will be fighting for the 7th or 8th seed in the West just like the Warriors were. Im just glad he didnt go to one of the elite teams in the West.
-
^I dunno, I think the Clippers could beat the Spurs next year.

^I dunno, I think the Clippers could beat the Spurs next year.
i dunno. 2 years ago you said the Lakers were contenders.
I dont see the Clips beating us next year. I think my team needs to make some moves to get some more scoring on the floor. Hopefully stay healthy throughout the year...or at least relatively healthy. Our core three are fine if theyre healthy. Most of our age was in our role players/ bench players.

I had the same thought. If they can manage to resign Brand and Maggette though, you gotta think they would at least be a threat to get to the 2nd round.
Davis/Knight/Taylor
Gordon/Mobley
Maggette/Thornton
Brand/Thomas
Kaman/Jordan?
Not bad on paper...
-
Baron is gonna be even more motivated to come back to his hometown L.A. and try and take out the lakers..
he's going to make the team better overall, going to command double teams, find open shooters, make chris kaman look like he did 4 years ago when sam cassell was ballin
all they need to do now is just resign Brand.. and possibly maggette

the Warriors didnt have ELTON BRAND..THATS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

I never said they were, I said they could be...I was right. As far as rosters, Clippers currently have a better roster than the Spurs. If the Spurs can get some younger players and a stronger offensive arsenal, I will take that back. But as of now, the Clippers are looking in better shape than your team. :-X

You're on crack...Kaman's best season was last year.

-

If you like that All-American blonde hair, blue eyed midwestern look that made Britney Spears into a superstar, then this girl was all of that. haven't seen her since my senoir year 2,000... I'm on my cell right now but I will try to find a pic of her on my computer at home.

^^^you look like a Jew about to get jumped by a gang of Muslims in that pic in your sig...

Well Baron is back home now. This now makes Shaun Livingston expendable.

LOL Livingston was gone no matter what their pg situation was. Chances are very slim that Livingston ever plays in the NBA again.

I did actually find her pic, but if I post her pic her name shows up in the info for the pic, she was a star athlete in college so she's on the internet as well, and that personalizes everything. And she was always a really nice person, never had anything against her so I don't want to put her personal life out there. Just thought it was a funny story to share, but I have limits and morals.

I feel ya...but there's an easy way to erase her name, if you want. just put it in mspaint and cut it ouy.

Even with Baron and Brand there are still like 8 teams better then the Clipps imo
