Baron Davis shocked the Warriors by opting out of his contract on Monday. Imagine their surprise now.
NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the guard reached a verbal agreement with the Clippers on Tuesday night and will sign a new multiyear contract with Los Angeles after the leaguewide moratorium on signings and trades is lifted July 9.
Davis was in line to make $17.8 million in the last year of his deal with the Warriors, but after telling the team that he wanted to stay, opted out at the last minute.
Sources told ESPN.com that Davis, 29, will receive a five-year deal worth an estimated $65 million.
Forward Elton Brand also opted out of his contract with the Clippers on Monday, and speculation quickly began that the team would try to keep Brand and sign Davis. This scenario is only possible if the Clippers renounce the rights of Corey Maggette and Brand takes a slight pay cut.
Sources say the Clippers are expected to do just that and quickly reach a verbal agreement to bring back Brand.
Maggette opted out of his deal on Monday as well.
Davis averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds last season for a Warriors team that won 48 games but did not make the playoffs.

I know Baron practically does everything off the court in the L.A. area, so it's no surprise to me that he left. But for all of those Warriors fans... it's a shock. Well, at least they still have a core of young talented guys like Ellis, Biedrins, Wright, Barnes, rookie newcomers in Randolph and Hendrix, etc...

I am totally shocked by this decision by him, but yeah, he is from LA and a lot of his off-court activities are in L.A.
Very sad to see him pass a guaranteed amount, 17.8 million, but he's still a favorite player of mines and it is a business after all.
Warriors still have the youth that Taurus brought up and if Monta and Andris sign back with Golden State, along with Brandon Wright, Warriors have a promising future.
