Baron Davis Agrees to Become a Member of the Los Angeles Clippers

Wow! I heard that the Los Angeles Clippers was one of Baron Davis' preferred destinations if things didn't work out with the Golden State Warriors, but I never thought it would happen on the opening day of NBA free agency.

Reportedly, the deal will be worth $65 million over 5 years. Not a bad deal for a 29 year old point guard!

Although this is a verbal agreement and anything can happen over the next few days the Clippers are already potentially looking like a playoff bound team with the addition their draft pick Eric Gordon from Indiana and a healthy Shaun Livingston.

Elton Brand and Corey Maggette's future is still up in the air with both players opting out of their contracts, but it is almost certain that Maggette will not return. Brand on the other hand doesn't want to go anywhere, but if he does the Philadelphia 76ers are the only team that will be able to throw money at him.

As for the Warriors, Gilbert Arenas will be in their crosshairs after the huge loss of Baron Davis. The Washington Wizards will probably have more money to spend on the superstar Agent Zero, but just like Davis going to the Clippers, you just never know what can happen.
