Clippers Trade Baron Davis To Cleveland

[JesRey]

Marc Spears reports:

The Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement in principle to send Baron Davis to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Mo Williams, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Cavaliers will also get a 2011 first-round pick from the Clippers, who will receive forward Jamario Moon.

Davis, 31, signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Clippers before the 2008-09 season. He struggled for much of his first two seasons, but had begun to play better. He’s averaging 12.8 points and seven assists this season.

I don't understand why the Clippers would give up their 1st round pick for Williams and Moon. This was an obvious move just to save money for next season.

Wow this is another trade today that came out of nowhere. I guess this is Donald Sterling's way of getting back at Baron Davis. I cant believe the Clippers also gave up an unprotected 1st Round Pick this year. Looks like Cleveland will get 2 picks in the Top 10 this June.

Absolutely love it. Giving up essentially Jamario Moon for a top-10 pick is a HUGE step towards the rebuilding process.

That pick would look better if the projected draft class didnt look so bad

Decent move, Cavaliers get nice contract in B-Diddy, and a Lotto first round pick.
