The Clippers surprised a lot of people when they matched big offer sheets on both Elton Brand and Corey Maggette in the summer of 2003 when the consensus was that they d follow historical precedent and bolt the Clippers for better money and a chance to win elsewhere. In the summer of 2005, free agent Cuttino Mobley signed a contract worth 5 years and $42M with the Clippers. It was the kind of ... [link]

So, the Warriors plot revenge against the Clippers for signing Baron Davis to a 5 year $65MM deal . Rumor is that the Warriors woulod go the whole boat and sign Brand to a Maximum Contract Deal . Word is that Corey Maggette's days in L.A. are basically over and he wants to be in Orlando if possible.

Sorry Corey

Posted 7/2/2008 on 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 ...
Spurs Reportedly Going After Maggette

Posted 7/2/2008 on Pounding The Rock

(Thanks to PtR member DennardC for the link .) While no deal was imminent, Maggette would be expected to sign a multi-year deal for the mid-level exception, a move that would fulfill the Spurs’ desperate need for perimeter athleticism and scoring. Maggette would be leaving the Clippers, just as the team came to an agreement with Golden State free agent Baron Davis on a contract. ...

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 ...

Now this is what you call Breaking News. The Bearded One himself, Baron Davis has verbally agreed to sign with the LA Clippers .

I Guess We Can Forget Elton Brand

Posted 7/2/2008 on 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 ...

Free Agent Frenzy

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 ...
