July 3, 2008 Baron Davis expects to be playing with Elton Brand next season, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I can't wait to have an opportunity to play with one of the best big men in the game," he said.
Our View:Fantasy owners can't wait either, as pairing the two together would only help both of their games, as neither would feel the pressure of having to do it all themselves.
July 1, 2008 Baron Davis has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign with the Clippers, according to the LA Times. Davis is expected to sign a contract in the five-year, $50 million range. His agent said, "From a basketball standpoint it's always been about winning for Baron. This presented a good opportunity to do that to pair him with Chris Kaman and Elton Brand is expected back."
Our View:He would be leaving the Warriors' run-and-gun offense, but he could still challenge 20 points per game with the Clippers.
July 1, 2008 Baron Davis walked away from $17.8 million when he suddenly decided to opt out of his final year of a contract he signed with the Warriors and is now an unrestricted free agent, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Our View:A bit of a shock as most people believed Davis would play out the final year of his deal looking for a long term contract. Davis could still resign with the Warriors, but given the lateness of this move he clearly won't be a fan favorite if he returns to the city by the bay. The most likely scenario would be the Warriors would resign Davis to a long term deal, or they would do a sign and trade in which they could pick up a nice package. Stay tuned.
