It’s a Boom Market
Baron is leaving $17.8mm on the table and opting out. Has the Bay Area’s Bearded Era come to an end? This may explain why when I shouted “Warrior-ball, baby!” to him the other day after that Steve Nash charity soccer match, I got back a merely tepid acknowledgment. I love Boom, but he’s right to be nervous: is there anyone (who doesn’t suck) who can afford to pay him? I’d pay good money to see Baron running the D’Antoni offense here. It’s a long (long) shot, but I don’t see the Knicks winning the Lebron sweepstakes in 2010 anyway, so would rolling the dice on Davis really be such a bad look? Plus: the Baron Davis / Beatrice Inn Era. This must happen.
