Good move by Baron. I don't see how anyone can be shocked by this. LA will heavily pursue him, and it's an ideal spot for him since they need a PG and it's his home town.

Wiz offer Arenas the max but he may take less What a crazy night in free agency. First, Baron Davis surprisingly opted out of the final year of his contract that would have payed him $17.8 million this season from the Golden State Warriors.
Then, according to my sources, the Warriors quickly burned the phones and offered former Warrior Gilbert Arenas a maximum-level contract, one that would pay him more than $100 million over five years. My source told me that Gilbert received a flurry of phone calls from the Warriors in the first 30 minutes of free agency.
After Gilbert drove to the Verizon Center for a late night workout and a meeting with Ernie Grunfeld, the Wizards came strong with an offer of a maximum contract that covers six years for over $124 million (Not sure whether they knew about the Golden State offer or not. I hear they didn't. Ernie came strong but also laid it out for Gilbert that if he asked for the maximum, the team would be in a tough spot.)
According to a source close to Arenas, the three-time all star is mulling the offers but is leaning towards staying with the Wizards and is willing to take less than the maximum if it will help Grunfeld make other moves he needs to make this summer.
Earlier today, Antawn Jamison signed a four year deal worth $50 million and if Arenas took a max contract, his first-year cap number would essentially end the offseason for the Wizards. That would mean no shot at keeping Roger Mason Jr.(which Ernie would like to do with part of the midlevel exception) or any other key piece.
Also, I heard from a very reliable source that the Sacramento Kings contacted Arenas and said they are willing to do "whatever it takes" to land his services even if they have to "trade their entire team." Guess the Maloof brothers want to matter again.

"The word on the street is that Davis, a Los Angeles native, has a deal in place with the Clippers where he would join forces with Elton Brand. "

Link?
I suppose a sign and trade is possible (using Marbury's expiring), but I highly doubt that happens considering it'd be smart for NY to rebuild...

Smith were talking about it... and Smith says Davis has says that he wants to play in New York and Stephen A. kept saying "yes folks believe it, Baron Davis would like to be a Knick." I don't know how credible Stephen A. is, I mean, I know he's good friends with a lot of basketball players... but the guy is an idiot, I think.

Lmao...Steven A Smith is always talking about the Knicks...of course he would say Baron would love to play for the Knicks...even if that were true, it had to be a sign and trade deal for Crawford + Curry or something along those lines.
