Pry away Gilbert Arenas

I think the decision of not acquiring Davis in the end may be mutual. With all of this extra cap etc, it makes most sense for LA to shell out extra to pry Arenas away from Washington. "Do onto others what has been done to you"...not exactly the phrase, but it works here.

By not acquiring Davis, the Clipps could then overpay for Arenas, who would be a much better candidate to build a team around. After that they could make other offers for Okafor, Childress etc. I think the neigborhood of 120 million could be a nice place to start.

Clips have already signed Davis, and Arenas has already agreed(or signed) to a contract with the Wizards.

i think i told u this before but the clippers cannot offer arenas that much money even if they hadn't agreed to terms with davis and arenas hadn't agreed to terms with the wiz.

I think we're all pretty happy with Davis, we just need to fill our PF void...
