Pretty nice pickup!

Only thing i'm worried about is his attitude..or has he improved that? :-?

I'm disappointed. I know most of you will probably like it, I just hate Ricky Davis. Not a fan, at all. He hasn't convinced me (or anyone that I know of) that his attitude has improved. Oh well. We needed an SG.

I think this could work out. Solid back-up to Mobley or Thornton.

Not a Clippers fan but damn a line up of Baron Davis Ricky Davis Al Thornton Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman is nice with Cuttino Mobley off the bench

I kind of like it cause he is pretty talented, but as others have said his attitude can be an issue. Let's just hope he doesn't cause any crap.

Ricky Davis a career loser for a reason but he can be very entertaining, I would think he can put up Stephen Jackson type numbers playing with Baron Davis but he'll kill his own teams with cold streaks when it matters most.

that attitude stuff is non-sense.

on a team last season that was basically the worst in the league, if not the worst, he didn't even say a peep to anyone about his playing time, role, position, nothing! -- he came in and played hard, night in and night out.

he'll be fine...

for the money the clippers could have offered him, its a win win situation.

Do we have enough space left to sign Powell, Q Ross, Livingston?

all the clippers moves this offseason and comments from shaun indicate that livingston has played his last game with the clippers.

2 yr 4.7 mil deal, 2nd yr is a player option.

Most likely not for Ross or Livingston, but isn't Powell still under contract?

I think this is more likely.

PG Davis
SG Davis
SF Thornton
PF Camby
C Kaman

Bench

Mobley
Knight
Thomas
Gordon

Its not all that good of a team in my opinion, if they stay healthy they might push for 45 wins but with B.Davis, Camby, Kaman and Mobley staying healthy is likely a pipedream.

RD fills that void @ backup SG/SF and I'm excited about him coming off the bench or possibly being put in the starting lineup depending on the opponent.

Baron, Eric, Ricky, AL and Marcus will be so fun to watch on the fastbreak :clap:

Azubuike who?

I think this should definitely be the starting 5 and I think it's a very good one. By the way, Knight has been traded for Jason Hart. I'm really excited for the upcoming season.
