B-Diddy is a Clipper! 

Post#1 » by ClipperDomination » Wed Jul 2, 2008 12:36 am

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.

Sources told ESPN.com that Davis, 29, will receive a five-year deal worth an estimated $65 million.

congratulations and now you guys can resign Brand and now have a pretty good team with some good depth. Now all you need is a good defensive 3 point specialist at the 2 guard.

Gordon/Mobley/Ross
Thornton/Thomas
Brand/

pretty good

Ross plays D, Mobley shoots the 3. It's in place.

They just need back-ups.

you gotta take chances to win championships..props to the Clippers FO for doing just that and not living in a fantasy world based on "potential" or "great future"..

Gratz to you guys for a great signing. I think Baron will work wonders in a Clipper uniform. LA Times says its a 5yr 50mill deal. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-cli ... 1230.story

That is true but you usually want that in one person so you dont have liability at either in.

examples of players like these are Morris Peterson and James Posey who both shoot threes and play D.

Can the Clippers sign for six years? I thought it was 5 for 65?
I really like 1840s merchant vessels. Basketball on the other hand, I can take it or leave it...

Congratulations Clipper fans. It's great to see some good fortune finally come to a franchise that has been through so much. Hope you guys emerge as strong contenders and give all teams in the Western Conference a huge beating and you guys fight the Lakers for LA supremacy. :clap:
