So I thought that Chris Mullen wanted to continue the success and build a possible championship team by the bay...... NOPE

Davis is or has already signed with the LA Clippers. WTF was Mullen thinking!!

Chris Mullen

um he didn't have much choice...davis opted out of 17.4 million....what was he supposed to do

Mike · July 2nd, 2008, 11:59 AM

He could have played for the final year of his contract and the Warriors would have probably gave him a contract that he deserved

ssigman · July 2nd, 2008, 12:00 PM

yea but it was his choice...and he wanted out so what was mullin to do

its not like he went to a website and posted how he wanted to sell davis

BtownBeers · July 2nd, 2008, 12:10 PM

Yeah really, he could have opted out and then resigned with them to a new deal, he clearly didn't want to be there.

Mike · July 2nd, 2008, 12:10 PM

Yeah I can see your point, but Mullen did not even try and match the offer. I know it was Davis's choice, but if he had some sort of deal that was close to the offer by the Clippers, I believe he would have stayed in Oakland

if he opts out of 17.4 million to take roughly 13..i think he wants to really leave and go back to his hometown

He really took a $4mil pay cut???

lol, Meik, sounds like the Warriors could have offered him the team and he'd still leave.

well its speculation right now cause they can't sign a deal till july 9th but

"Though Davis refused to directly confirm his agent’s declaration to The Los Angeles Times that they have agreed to sign a five-year, $65 million deal with Golden State’s Pacific Division rivals,"

"On Monday, Davis surprised the league by opting out of the final year of his long-term contract, turning down $17.8 million for next season to become an unrestricted free agent."

Now this is classic! The Warriors have made an offer to Elton Brand for $ 15 - 20 million more than the Clippers have. Brand has stated that he became a free agent so the Clippers could sign Davis and then he would resign for something less, but then the warriors threw this deal together. He immediately flew out to the east coast to meet with his agent, he said that he has to REALLY consider the Warriors offer.

Now wouldn't that be ironic if the warriors could get the clippers best player and finally a big man that could go against the likes of Boozer and others that have killed them in the past

interesting for sure..but out of spite, is it the best deal for the franchise to make
