Clippers sign Ricky Davis
Slowly but surely, the Clippers are having themselves a very solid offseason. Granted, 'Ricky Buckets' has a history for being a "me-first" show off with absolutely no success when it comes to how far his teams get with him. However, by signing the man with arguably the most famous triple double in the game, the Clips fill a big gap at the 2/3 for a very cheap price.
Sure, losing Azubuike when he was within grasp hurt, but for what they got him for, I can't say a bad thing about the Ricky Davis signing.
LA's OTHER team will be VERY interesting next season.
Lakers re-sign Sasha Vujacic
Arguments will rage on about just how interested the foreign squads were in The Machine, but the fact remains that the Lakers got him, and they'll be paying him five mil for the next three years. Judging by the years, I'd say Mitch learned his lesson about long term contracts to streaky three point shooters with big final years.
Luke Walton has made me VERY apprehensive about handing out big money contracts to players who shined most the year they're due for a new contract. That said, Sasha was a key contributor with clutch shooting and pesky defense in the closing minutes of many a Laker games, so it's hard to say he didn't earn his paper this season.
For the sake of future white guy shooters that will wear the purple and gold and want a new contract everywhere, let's hope Sasha doesn't make the Lakers regret this move.
