Baron Davis no longer a warrior? 

Post#1 » by BROWN » Sat May 10, 2008 5:31 pm

Where would you think he'd go?
With Nellie possibly leaving, and all these coaching changes, where can you see him land? and for how much?

I hate agents... just say you are or aren't going to opt out. Save us the speculation.

I am hoping the Rockets can nab him in a S&T. We have some expirings, but not much else since I doubt they want Brooks.

90% unlikely...but keep hope alive....

Teams that come to my mind are Houston, Sacramento, and Orlando. If the Rockets were able to sign Baron, T-Mac might just get out of the first round after all. Sacramento definitely becomes a playoff contender, and Orlando would still be in need of a 2 guard, but they would no doubt be a lot better.

This will be the worst decision of his career. Never again will he have a team full of young athletic players built around him as the franchise player, with a style of play that matches his still set perfectly. There are only 30 teams in the NBA, and to be a franchise player is a very honorable thing, the grass is always greener on the other side Baron.
Go Raps!!

I could see a S&T with the Clipps happening. So many possiblities it is hard to speculate. No matter what happens I think the warriors will match any offer so that they can do a S&T if BD opts out.THe thing about Baron's contract is that if he gets a new one i doubt that he"ll make as much because of his age and health issues(played all 82 this season congrats). But regardless it must be done because you never know what could happen 2 years from now.

Without doing a sign and trade deal (which would have to give GS something they want back), what team would offer Baron a contract even as much as ~5yr/$50M (which is still much less than what he wants).

Is there any team in the league that has the cap space to make that offer, and would be interested in doing so?

Memphis and Philly have the cap space, but I doubt either team has interest. A few other teams could, but only if their potential FA's leave.

If Baron does opt out, he'll be sorely dissappointed about the contract offers he recieves.

Yes, lets waste cap space so we can't resign Chris Paul. Funny you are, but really dumb as well.

He wants to go back home and to win a championship. He signs with the
Lakers for the MLE.
