Sorry Corey —
Can Danny?
Day 1 of the 2008 free agency market saw a big winner and a big loser. The winner was the Clippers who added an elite point guard and put themselves into the thick of the playoffs picture out west. The loser was Corey Maggette who was hoping for a raise but instead will now have to take a pay cut. Because the Clippers renounced Maggette's rights and now have signed Davis, there's no way that ...

Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog
Well, the Baron Davis fallout has begun. Now that it's clear the Clippers can't keep Maggette, and Orlando made him a full midlevel offer, everyone else is going to want to take a stab at keeping him -- especially if the teams that do have cap room, Philly, Memphis and Golden State choose not to go after him. Next in line are the Boston Celtics, who might just become the Eastern Conference ...

I Guess We Can Forget Elton Brand —
Depressed Fan
Baron Davis reportedly has a verbal agreement with the Clippers for a 5-year, $65M deal. If this move appeases Elton Brand, which it probably will, then he'll resign with them. To make it work, Maggette would have to be renounced, then Brand would have to resign for somewhere near $14M for the first year to clear up the $13M to pay Baron. It looks like it's Josh Smith or no one in the free ...

Well Baron Davis sure turned the world upside down with his decision to opt out.
Suddenly the GS Point Guard may bolt for LA, which will result in the Clippers letting Corey Maggette sign elswhere, and potentially landing Gilbert Arenas back in Goldens State. If that happens the Warriors will officially become my second favorite team again. Then what the hell happens in Washington? Crazy ...
