http://tinyurl.com/p5mqvb The Mavs had no interest in trading for Baron Davis last season. Maybe that changes if the Mavs aren't confident that they can re-sign Jason Kidd. But Davis, who is expected to be shopped by the Clippers again this summer, doesn't seem like he'd be a good fit for the Mavs. The fact that the Clippers tried to get rid of him a few months into a five-year deal and couldn't is proof that Davis has a bad contract (good for him). He's on the books for the next four seasons ($12.1 million, $13 million, $13.9 million, $14.75 million), so acquiring him would put a wrench in any financial flexibility going forward. That'd be fine if Davis were still an elite player. However, he appears to be a great talent who has hit the downside of his career. MFFLs surely remember Davis' dominance in the Warriors 8 vs. 1 triumph over the 67-win Mavs. It's doubtful that Davis will ever play at that level again. He's a big-bodied point guard whose game is based on explosiveness, and he turned 30 last month. Davis had a dismal season for the 19-63 Clippers this year. He averaged 14.9 points and 7.7 assists, but the stat that sticks out is his 37-percent shooting. He's never shot a good percentage, but that's awful. It's also notable that Davis missed at least 15 games for the sixth time in seven seasons. The one exception? His contract year, of course. Maybe it's a matter of motivation for Davis, and he'd morph back into an All-Star candidate with a change of scenery. I wouldn't bet my money on that happening, and I doubt Mark Cuban will bet his. 小心BD的大長約! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.131.224.25
