Davis verbally agrees to go to Clippers, leave Warriors
Baron Davis shocked the Warriors by opting out of his contract on Monday. Imagine their surprise now.
NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the guard reached a verbal agreement with the Clippers on Tuesday night and will sign a new multiyear contract with Los Angeles after the leaguewide moratorium on signings and trades is lifted July 9.
Davis was in line to make $17.8 million in the last year of his deal with the Warriors, but after telling the team that he wanted to stay, opted out at the last minute.
Forward Elton Brand also opted out of his contract with the Clippers on Monday, and speculation quickly began that the team would try to keep Brand and sign Davis. This scenario is only possible if the Clippers renounce the rights of Corey Maggette and Brand takes a slight pay cut.
Maggette opted out of his deal on Monday as well.
Davis averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds last season for a Warriors team that won 48 games but did not make the playoffs.
wow.
Just wow.
Adios maggette though.
Damn. Clippers definitely in the playoffs now.
If theres a team with more bad luck, or more of a way to it up, its the Clippers.
Looks like Maggette is going to have to settle for the MLE, unless he wants to go to Philly or Memphis.
Maggette to SA.
Wow..Maggette is out of LA...Cory is exactly what the Spurs need.

Pop needs to get on the phone with Maggette and make reservations for the mariachi's and a room at the Westin La Cantera.
Not really. Nothing suprising here. Spurs chances of nailing Barnes, Azubuike, maybe even Pietrus have dipped.Baron Davis shocked the Warriors by opting out of his contract on Monday. Imagine their surprise now.
True dat but still.
Baron Davis, Elton Brand, and Chris Kaman? And Eric Gordon?
That team has to find a way into the playoffs.
looks like the Clips may have locked up the 7th or 8th seed next year....
What are the chances of us getting Maggs when he's expressed interest in Orlando, who will offer the same package as us .... plus Disneyworld.
Forget Smith and everybody else!(But Orlando probably gets him).
Baron Davis
Eric Gordon/Cat Mobley
Al Thornton
Elton Brand/Tim Thomas
Chris Kaman
Not too shabby.
Right now, only two teams will be able to offer more than the MLE to Maggette : Warriors and Sixers. If both don't want him (and it's quite likely), Spurs could be in the mix with the MLE.
Spurs have a lot of positive aspects to attract Maggette : Maggette liked SA, Spurs have tried to get him in the past, Chip Engelland, contender, a lot of playing time available...
Maggette's path to Orlando just got easier.
Clips look legit. That squad will be nice.
While I am hopeful the Spurs at least express interest in Maggette, the truth is if he is going to take a MLE deal it will more than likely be in Orlando..he still has a home in Florida & his family is there..whats more is that Orlando is not a scrub team by any means & will be a playoff force for a few years IMO...while I agree Maggette would look sick in black & silver, it is most definitly a long shot..but one worth taking.
Why is everyone so sure Maggette is Orlando bound? In SA he'd start. In SA he'd have a much higher chance at a ring.
Not trying to be a moderator or anything, but why don't these things ever go into the NBA forum?
I think someone posted a story where he was speaking many times about how he wants to go back to orlando.
He would start in Orlando as well..
Damn, on individual talent alone, this puts the Clippers high up.
because it affects the Spurs.
Because until players like Maggette sign somewhere, they are on the Spurs radar which makes very good fodder for the Spurs forum.
