As far as the NBA trades going on right now, there are a lot of questions in the air. But the most celebrated and much monitored players today include Golden States’ Baron Davis and Los Angeles Clipper Elton Brand. Both are big names in the basketball world today and apparently they have one thing in common; both have opted for an early exit from their contracts.
The last report showed that Baron Davis was keen on signing up with the LA Clippers, choosing to abandon ship rather than become the 12th highest paid player in the NBA. So what could possibly be better than that? A championship?
That may be a wise move. But that was before Elton Brand and Corey Magette decided to follow Davis’ footsteps in opting out of their contracts. So if Davis lands in LA, who will he be with? Chris Kaman?
The understanding was Davis would be joining a talented team in LA and he could be the final piece of the puzzle. But now that two starting players are potentially leaving it seems he would have been better of sticking it out with the Warriors to which Brand has been reportedly heading.
They say he may want to go home to his homeland. But apparently it seems that Davis may regret leaving Warriors in the end. He seems to be headed for a team that may very well end up worst than his former team, the Golden State Warriors.
Baron Davis started out his career with the Charlotte (now New Orleans) Hornets in 1999. He was traded in 2005 for Speedy Claxton and Dale Davis to Golden State and has since become a two-time NBA All-Star. He was likewise a member of the 2001 NBA Dream Team that won the gold medal.
