I'm a little late posting this one. Baron Davis and the Clippers agree in principle to a 5-year, $65 million contract. The move brings B-Diddy back to his hometown of Los Angeles and moves the Clips from a perennial lottery team to a contender in the West.
Now I don't think that the Clippers are going to win the championship next year, but with Phoenix and Dallas coming off disappointing playoff runs and getting up there in age, it's hard to count the Clippers out of the playoff hunt out West. However, the key to their contention is staying healthy. Elton Brand will most likely be back in a Clippers uniform, but he and Davis have struggled with injuries throughout their respected careers.
I, for one, hope they do stay healthy. Baron's one of my favorite point guards and I'd love to see him and NY-native Brand go deep in the playoffs in '09.
PS: Knicks lose...again.
