Baron to Charlotte talks

Report: Bobcats talking to Clippers about Baron Davis trade​

Right now Baron Davis is seen in Los Angeles as the anchor on the Clippers rebuilding plans, as such they have been looking for someone to take his contract off their hands.

That could be the recently shaken up Bobcats — who should be trying to rebuild themselves — according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo.

(Bobcats owner Michael) Jordan is considering a trade proposal that would send (D.J.) Augustin, DeSagana Diop and Matt Carroll to the Los Angeles Clippers for Davis, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.

Getting rid of the entire coaching staff was not enough in Charlotte?

Baron Davis started his career in Charlotte, so there is some sentimentality there. His play is another issue. On the court since his return from injury this season Davis has shown flashes, but he is shooting 36.1 percent overall this season and 18.6 percent from three. It has not been much better lately — in his last 10 games Davis is shooting 38.9 percent overall and 21.4 percent from three.

What’s more, he’s injury prone and expensive. Davis is owed the remainder of his $13 million for this season plus $27 million more over the two years following. His injury prone status has come in part because of conditioning issues that have driven a series of coaches crazy in recent years. Davis talked after his latest injury about needing to be better at off-season conditioning.

Davis likes a lot of freedom to run the offense from the point, something new coach Paul Silas likely grant him. Maybe that can rejuvenate Davis. But that is a big contract for a maybe.

Not sure this rumor makes a lot of sense, but it’s out there.

A couple of weeks ago I would say pull the trigger immediately if I'm the Clippers, but now I'd hold on that. Baron hasn't been shooting that well since his return, but the other stuff he's brought has been too valuable to the Clippers so far. Mainly it's his veteran leadership, defense, and passing ability. He also realizes that he's not the man anymore. It's Griffin's and Gordon's team, and he has stopped trying to force things since his return. Clips have been playing a lot better with him back.

This also doesn't make much sense for Charlotte imo.

After letting Larry Brown go what direction are they trying to go in? Davis is not a piece to get if you're trying to rebuild. If they're trying to win now, they should try to upgrade their front-court first.

Yeah Baron has stepped up big time for the Clips lately. But Augustin could probably do the same thing, plus he's younger. And adding Diop would also help them out down in the post.

Clippers aren't really happy with Baron Davis and I think he would help the Charlotte Bobcats who need a better point guard who can run the team up. I'm not too sure but when is his contract expiring? I think they should try and get a point guard that has an expiring contract so they have more cap space and rebuild during the summer

Why do the Lolcats wanna fuck up their roster even more?

I don't care how well Baron is doing right now...he's already been a huge waste of time and money. If you had to gamble on whether or not Baron can shoot as good as he is right now, for the rest of the season, you would hide your wallet. This trade package is a lot closer to the Blake Griffin age bracket and look at what Raymond Felton is doing right now for the Knicks. I know Felton and Augustin aren't very comparable players but its amazing how much potential a guy can have when he's playing for a team that motivates him to win games.
