Davis signed a two-year, $4.7 million deal. He can opt out after the first season, but c'mon, this isn't the time to start talking about that, is it? It's a time for celebration! If ever there was a union guaranteed to last forever, well, that'd be Marko and Adriana, but Ricky Davis and the Clippers are a close, close second.

Why were the Clippers so interested in Davis? GM Elgin Baylor explains:
"With his ability to score and shoot from the outside, it's really going to open up the floor for us, particularly our low-post players," Los Angeles general manager Elgin Baylor said.
That's right! Ricky Davis, making his teammates better since ... well, just now.

In all seriousness, Baylor may be onto something: LA's bigs include Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby, a couple of guys who will have maybe five plays called for them all night long. This team can afford bringing a gunner off the bench.
