The Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed in principle to a trade that would send Baron Davis and the Clippers' 2011 first-round draft pick to Cleveland in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon, league sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

Feel bad for Davis, he does not deserve that wasteland

Baron will retire in two weeks.

I'm not sure why Cleveland would choose to tie up $13 mil a year for the next two years on an unmotivated point guard.

Maybe they believe Baron would rather retire.

Yet another piece of evidence that Cleveland is one of the 3 or 4 worst run franchises in the NBA.

Sounds like maybe Cleveland isn't done on that one.

Looks like Donald Sterling really did want to het rid of Baron Davis.

On certain levels, this trade really doesn't make a lot of sense for either team... but that's why both franchises suck constantly.

Cavs just paid $28m for this year's lottery pick.

Looks like LeBron made a good decision to leave that dogpile of an organization.

It's purely an accounting move. Clips unload a huge salary. Cavs is only interested in lottery picks and will have future cap room.

Clippers need a pass first PG and additional shooters on the perimeter.

Great discussion on 1560 this morning about how much weight Baron Davis will gain between now and season's end.

Getting cast off in to the basketball abyss of Cleveland could not have happened to a nicer guy. I hate Baron Davis.

williams for davis is basically a wash..both are average point guards..both have 2 years left on their contract..davis' contract is bigger..but dan gilbert is one of the few owners who will spend whatever he has to spend..it's just bad luck that he owns an nba franchise in cleveland..

but the other part of the deal is jamario moon for a lottery pick..

is it any surprise the clippers made a deal like this?

Williams has a player option for next season. So he could be a free agent after this season freeing up cap room for the Clippers.

Most feel the upcoming draft will be one of the weakest in a long time. The Clippers are already a VERY young team and need to bring in free agents, not rookies.
