Knowing that the Mavs probably don't have a chance, I would love to see Baron & Elton get a ring.
Interesting...Baron Davis shocked the Warriors by opting out of his contract on Monday. Imagine their surprise now.
Davis
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.
Sources told ESPN.com that Davis, 29, will receive a five-year deal worth an estimated $65 million.
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.
Sources say the Clippers are expected to do just that and quickly reach a verbal agreement to bring back Brand.
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.

More proof you are a moron....Baron deserves to win ... him![]()
Vinnie you know what's up. The Clippers are a cursed franchise. They could have MJ in his prime, Shaq, Magic, etc. and still not win. They always find a way to things up. At best they are going to be relevant again, yet another team that will battle for a playoff seed.
Damn straight.
Never going to win .
