Man, this whole situation with Baron Davis has been one surprise for me after another. First, he opted out of his contract with the Warriors. I thought he was happy at Golden St but I guess not.

So even though he opted out, I still thought the Warriors may come away with him but later on last night I found out that he agreed to sign with the Clippers.

Before you call him a sellout, it turns out he is actually taking less money with the Clippers than he would’ve been getting with the Warriors. He was going to make close to $18m next year with the Warriors but instead he will get about $13m with the Clippers.

So let me get this straight, this guy took less money, to play for a crappier team. The only reason I could think why he would really want to play there is because he is from Los Angeles. They do have some young talent there with the Clippers but if they don’t resign Elton Brand then it will be a long season for them.
