Warriors' Davis opts out of deal
Basketball Betting Lines
07/01/2008 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Golden State Warriors point guard Baron Davis
has reportedly opted out of his contract with the team, leaving $17.8 million
on the table and choosing to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Oakland Tribune reported that just before a midnight (et) deadline, Davis
chose to get out of the final season of his six-year contract with the
Warriors.
Davis could still return to the Warriors when the free agent signing period
begins or the team could go to another club in a sign-and-trade deal.
The 29-year-old Davis averaged a team-high 21.8 points, 7.6 assists, 4.7
rebounds and was second in the NBA at 2.33 steals over 82 games last season.
He was the only Warrior to appear in every game last season.
Acquired from New Orleans during the 2004-05 season, Davis has career averages
of 17.1 points and 4.1 rebounds over 608 regular season games.
The Warriors finished 48-34 last season, barely missing out on the playoffs.
Davis engineered the Warriors to the postseason the previous year, breaking a
12-season playoff drought. It was during the 2007 playoffs when the Warriors,
as an eighth seed, shocked the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
