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 was).
While some teams find their stars battling over the ball, this one may see the tension coming over script rights. Is there enough room for two, count ‘em two budding movie moguls in one locker room? We shall see.

With an improving Shaun Livingston at the Point 2 years ago, and a solid vet like Sam Cassell, the Clips were a team on the rise, in the NBA.
Adding Baron … but losing Brand, and Livingston (pricipally via injury) does nothing for their team.
They are destined for the bottom of the WC next season.
^ Spoken like a true myopic Laker fan. I’d go into specifics, but I’d be wasting my time. Go back to watching field hockey ’cause you obviously don’t know much about the NBA.
