    They should, but it won't happen. Since we are screwed for good at the moment, I'd try to see if the Warriors will take Davis, he signs there, then we S&T Maggette to Golden State for someone like Harrington and Bellinelli. Al expires in 2010[along with T2 and Cat] and Belli can compete with Gordon for the SG position or they can start together as they both reportedly have good ball handling skills. Warriors get right back into the thick of things with a starting unit of: Davis-Ellis-Maggs-??-Biedrins. Jackson being the 6th man. But it won't happen, Barons here to stay, we'll overpay for someone like Krstic or something, and be stuck in hell.

    To be honest, I think he wants to stay in LA (his hometown) and i think that was a huge factor for him coming here. Even if Brand leaves, I expect him to stay. I think he wants to end his career in the town he grew up in. Playing with Brand was just a bonus added

    He'll stay. It's his hometown, and he's an elite player. Plus it's not like the Clippers can't just throw a ton of money to a restricted free agent, and hope they won't match. I think it's doubtful Atlanta would match a max deal for Josh Smith. Ditto for Okafor. Put either of those guys there, and the Clips are still a good team.

    I wouldnt mind them throwing cash at Iggy, just for the hilarity.

    If the Clippers can sign either

    Smith, Lee, or Okafor.

    They should be fine.

    Elton Brand was messed up last year. Never really know how he is gonna bounce back this year.

    Not sure what Lee you're talking about, but I do see the Clips making a run at Josh Smith if Brand doesn't sign. They can give that same 5 years $75 mil to Smith, who would be an ideal running partner mate for Baron. Would the Hawks really match that deal? I doubt it.

    Well, whatever happens there should be some answers in a couple of hours. It's 10:40pm here, so it should be like 6:40 in LA. I'd have to assume with a big deal like this, they'd want the ink down asap, which could mean midnight. less than 6 hours.

    Default BDiddy press conference cancelled

    As per the Joe Mcdonnell show.

    They called his reps earlier in the day and asked for an interview. They were told that he wont be doing interviews after the press conference.

    They called now and were told that there wont be a press conference tomorrow.

    I believe it. Could things have turned out worse or Baron? He turned down what $18 mil, and now he's only going to get a fraction of that next year.

    I wouldn't exactly say a fraction. He's getting over 2/3rds of it for the first year, and has a deal locked in for the next 5.


    And it's not over, remember that ****load of unrestricted free agents from the class of 2004? There's a ton that won't get matched if a team offers enough.

    Josh Smith, Okafor, Iggy, Deng. One or two of those might, but not all 4. And if the Clips throw the same amount of money at them, they could turn this around really fast.
