Davis verbally agrees to Clippers deal

I like Arenas, but I guess at this point in his career he is trying to sure up the cash, before the ring, as most NBA players do. With his celb status, he would probably make more in endorsements with a big city contender. Wizards are ok but not better then 4th or 5th in a Eastern Conference that is only getting better.

Isaac- Owners would pay max on a guy like Arenas coz his star power means TV and jersey sales.

No way anyone can honestly picture him taking a team to the finals...

Much respect for Baron here, now they need...... wait a minute, totally forgot they got Gordon in the draft!

"Calling all bandwagon supporters"
"Calling all bandwagon supporters"

"your time is now"

Baron Gordon backcourt.
Thornton, Brand Kaman froncourt.

Now just turn fatigue off so you can play the starters all game long and... oh thats right, you can only do that on x-box.

Bench is massive issue for this team now, but they have time to get something in there, is Mobley still runnin and gunnin?

Clips are finally going to make their supporters happy by the looks of things!

It is good to see the attitude shift that appears to be going on in the NBA at the moment. Garnett agreed to restructure his contract last year so that the Celtics could afford to bring him in.

Now Davis has taken a voluntary pay cut, presumably to go play with Brand, Kaman and Thornton in LA. I can't imagine he would do that unless he has received assurances from Brand that he will stay with the Clippers. So it appears that Brand is a lock to also take a pay cut in pursuit of a championship. The quote below seems to confirm Brand's mindset:

Brand and agent David Falk insisted that their decision to forfeit next season's $16.4 million salary and allow Brand to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career was designed to give the Clippers more payroll flexibility to strengthen the team around the face of its franchise.

Falk told ESPN.com that a visit to Boston for Game 2 of the NBA Finals to see the Celtics' triumvirate of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen was Brand's spark.

"He watched what happened when a few stars get together and agree to have a communal effort," Falk said. "He said, 'That's what I'd like to accomplish in my career.'"
