    Because the Clippers don't know what they're doing?

    Or do the Clippers know what they're doing all of a sudden? :)

    Only if the #4 is attached.

    And I think it would be.

    If we can get the #4 in the deal, you have to do it. B-Diddy is a nice tradable asset after next season.

    Well if Cleveland decided to eat the final few years on Baron's deal to gain what was thought to be a mid lotto pick, why would they now give up a slightly better pick to get out of those years?

    Cleveland knows they won't be signing free agents in the next couple seasons so the contract isn't a big hinderance.

    I agree as well. Baron has attitude problems the last 2-3 years. #4 would have to be included. But there could be NO HARD CAP for us to consider it. And no one is sure on that.

    I am fine with Diddy, as long as he comes back with 1 or 2 of Verajao, Hickson, #4. Any two of those three makes us a better team going forward, and Diddy is a wash with Miller.....Younger even

    That's the point to me as well: Davis isn't the prize, he is the cost. Someone of value has to come back with him. At the same time, he is at the very least a decent PG, albeit grossly overpaid, who would do fine here.

    God I hope this happens ... not for basketball reasons mind you, but the imagination runs wild thinking about what Baron Davis added to the team would mean to this forum.

    You might confuse me with KingSpeed if Oden and Baron are happy and contributing (and the league's playing) in January

    THIS. It's obvious he's the cost of is getting Andy or the #4 IMO.

    GM Larry Miller has a shitty eye for talent.

    Lets see if they follow up Baron with JR Smith.

    If this were the good ole days where we had a few useless guys making 10mil+ I'd be all psyched about this deal. But it's not. All of the players that make money on this team are useful. Overall I think I'd be pleased with a Miller for Davis swap. But Davis makes nearly double what Miller does. We've got no trade ballast to send Cleveland's way. We'd have to send useful players like Wesley or Gerald.

    The only guy that matches up with Baron's salary from our side is Brandon Roy. I sure as hell don't see Cleveland doing that deal. The Clippers had to send the Cavs their pick (Which ended up being #1 CRAZY!!!) to get out from under Baron's salary for the next two season. They'd want some sort of similar return to continue paying that kind of money for two more seasons and we don't have a lottery pick to give them.

    Camby/Miller for Varajeo/Davis and whatever filler necessary, assuming the #4 pick is not involved

    Baron makes less than Roy. He also can trade with Miller+Wes or Miller+Batum+(Babbitt or Rudy)

    Please correct me if im under the wrong impression....

    Would this (prior to June 30) be the last chance for NO to trade Paul for something IF the lockout goes the full year???
