Quoth ESPN: Baron Davis = LA Clipper
a dog named clipper —
Per the worldwide leader's Marc Stein it’s a done (verbal) deal. "Sources told ESPN.com that Davis, 29, will receive a five-year deal worth an estimated $65 million. Forward Elton Brand also opted out of his contract with the Clippers on Monday, and speculation quickly began that the team would try to keep Brand and sign Davis. This scenario is only possible if the Clippers renounce the rights of Corey Maggette and Brand takes a slight pay cut. Sources say the Clippers are expected to do just that and quickly reach a verbal agreement to bring back Brand." I don’t know how, but ...
Baron Davis to the Clippers
Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog —
... The Bearded One himself, Baron Davis has verbally agreed to sign with the LA Clippers. ESPN is reporting that deal is 5 years and $65 million which means he will be taking a pay cut. It also pretty much seals the deal of Elton Brand returning to the Clippers and Corey Maggette exiting stage left. ...
Baron Davis to the Los Angeles Clippers
SportsHubLA —
It won’t be official until he can sign a contract (meaning we may not get official word from the Clippers), but ESPN’s Marc Stein is reporting that Baron Davis has agreed to join the Los Angeles Clippers . Reportedly, the next move will be to arrive at similar verbal terms with Elton Brand, which can only work within the salary cap if the team renounces the rights to Corey Maggette. This is also a believable theory, since any move to bring in a big free agent without a sign and trade would involving parting with Maggette (who appeared anything but a lock to come back as it ...

Baron Davis Joins the Clippers, Upsets Balance of Power on Pacific Coast
FanHouse —
Filed under: Warriors, Clippers, Los Angeles, Oakland, Breaking News And just like that, not only is Baron Davis no longer contractually obligated to those Golden State Warriors, but he's a freaking Los Angeles Clipper. ESPN and L.A.'s CBS affiliate have both reported Davis has reached a preliminary agreement with the Clippers, and expects to sign a five-year, $65 million contract next week. Is this a more shocking turn of events for the Warriors, or the Clippers? L.A. faced the risk of starting ...

Forum Blue And Gold —
... • If you didn’t see this yet (Ryan had it in the comments), apparently Baron Davis has a verbal deal with the Clippers (remember, nothing on paper until July 9). It’s interesting to watch Barron Davis and Elton Brand seeming to try to recreate what the Celtics did last year, make a contender out of not much else by bringing the stars together. The difference is that Boston’s Big Three were able to go to a place where there was an already established star to create a trio. And, that was a star who meshed perfectly with the games of the incoming player. Davis and Brand make a ...
ESPN: 'Baron Davis agrees to sign with the Clippers'. Detroit Pistons could benefit.
Full-Court Press —
More proof that those rumors about a trade involving Baron Davis and the Detroit Pistons was overblown, if not totally false, is the fact that Davis opted out of his 17.8 million dollar contract and has agreed to change his jersey and sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. Davis could wind up helping the Pistons anyway, in a roundabout way. July 1, ESPN: 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 ...

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, ...

WOW…

One plus is that it all but guarantees Corey Maggette will not get more than the MLE… They’ve got to renounce his sign and trade rights to make this deal work, so he’s out there for 5.5 million or whatever…
So, what this means is that we can no longer do a S&T for Maggette... no one ...

Donald Sterling's Big Play
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
Sources are telling ESPN's Marc Stein and the L.A. Times' Jonathan Abrams that Baron Davis and the Clippers have verbally agreed to a five-year deal. That would leave the Clippers needing to re-sign Elton Brand. But Brand's camp has made noises all along that if the Clippers are in position to win, that's where he wants to play, and with a small pay cut, he can fulfill his desire to stay in L.A. while playing on a profoundly improved team. Which leaves me wondering -- how good will this make the Clippers? It'll ...

The Beard will take less money to play with the Clippers.

Links: Welcome to L.A., Baron Davis!
SLAM Online —
... • I hope Golden State fans aren’t mad at Baron Davis for moving back to L.A., because he did a big favor to the Warriors. Not only do they now have the cash to re-sign Monta Ellis, but they clear out a lot of playing time and circumstance. Baron needs the ball to be successful, and for Nellie’s system to really click, at a level higher than it has been, I think not having Baron will actually make them better, especially defensively. I don’t think Baron and Elton together will make the Clippers into the Celtics, but that’s what makes the ...

Baron Surprise
The Shamrock Headband —
... are reporting that Baron Davis has "verbally agreed" to sign a five year, $65 million deal with the LA Clippers, mere hours after rather abruptly opting out of his Warriors contract. This is obviously pretty big news, and lips are aflutter that this is merely the first salvo fired in post-KG basketball, that Baron and Elton Brand (also a free agent, incidentally) recently looked at the Celtics and were like, "hey, we can do that" (they can't), and then, you know, maybe this changes the whole Corey Maggette thing and all that. Truthfully I don't really care, since the only ...

That leaves the Clips with a starting 5 of Boom Dizzle, top pick Eric Gordon, Al Thornton, Brand and Chris Kaman and a bench of Tim Thomas, Cuttino Mobley and maybe Shaun Livingston. The Cavs can't offer an upgrade or fill any holes, so cross Elton off the list. ...

Clippers Are Real Contenders Now
Larry Brown Sports —
... And when I say they’re contenders, I don’t mean in the sense that they could win a title like the Lakers or Celtics, I mean a contender in the Clipper sense.

For them, that would be winning a championship. With the news that Baron Davis has reached a verbal agreement to join the Clippers after opting out of the final year of his contract with Golden State, the Clips ...

A big reason is because of the impact and the things that I can do going forward. I knew I could have done them here and created all kinds of good things and positive things in the community, and ultimately, me going home helps me make an impact on young kids.” ...

We still expected a discussion for Baron to remain a Warrior. He had a great run with the Warriors. That had become home for him. ... [But] this is about having the best team in place, especially at this point in his career. Baron just wants to win. He has a chance to do something special with the Clippers and come back home." ...
