On this date, 2008: Baron Davis leaves Warriors to sign with Clippers

(This story was originally published in 2008)

Point guard Baron Davis — the heart and soul of a squad that in May 2007 became the first No. 8 playoff seed to knock off a No. 1 in a seven-game series — agreed in principle to a five-year contract worth a reported $65 million with the Los Angeles Clippers.
