NBA Free Agent Signings Rock the Clippers
Baron Davis, Corey Maggette and Elton Brand will all find themselves in new uniforms next season.
After the Clippers solidified a verbal agreement from Baron Davis last week we all thought we’d see him playing along side of Elton Brand in the upcoming season. However, Brand shocked the Clippers by leaving for Philly after management made some moves to free up cap-space.
With the salary vacancy made by the exodus of Baron Davis the Warriors were able to get Corey Maggette in return.
In the end these 3 team rosters look will look very different when the season starts next year. The Clippers blame Brand for turning his head on the verbal agreement he made to re-sign with the Clippers if they were to lock up Baron Davis, but that’s the problem with verbal agreements. Instead of the Clippers getting a lot better during free agency the Sixers have risen into the middle of the Eastern Conference Playoff Standings.
Next we’ll see if the Clippers can lock up Josh Smith or Emeka Okafor who are both still free agents.
too bad. their best bet is to probably just throw that money at josh smith and let them run. the sixers look good though.
