The Los Angeles Clippers today signed veteran free agent swingman Ricky Davis to a multi-year contract, it was announced by Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not announced. Carrying career averages of 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 31.1 minutes, Davis tallied 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 82 games played for the Miami Heat during the 2007-08 season. The 6-foot-7-inch Iowa product also connected on 420-971 FG (.433), 135-333 3FG (.405) and 155-197 FT (.787) on the year. “We believe he will be a good addition,” Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor said. “His versatility and ability to shoot from the outside will spread the floor and help our low post players.”

Nice sign, he should start for them. I would imagine.

so there line-up is looking like
PG - Davis
SG - Mobley
SF - Davis
PF - Camby
C - Kaman

coming off the bench is Thornton and Gordon. that sounds pretty good to me

I could see Thornton starting over Mobley.

C- Kaman
PF- Camby
SF- Thornton
SG- Davis
PG- Davis

Gordon, Mobley, Thomas off the bench.

The Clippers have done as good a job possible after losing Brand. I like the signing, Ive always liked Davis' game, alongside Baron could really help his game.

Its actually feasable that the Clips could be a .500 team now.

I agree. I think they're headed in the right direction, and as snowy said, I think they will become a +.500 team.
