Baron Davis to the LA Clippers

The news is almost a week old but the sting is still fresh in my Warriors-bleeding heart.

I know that the possibility of B Diddy leaving Golden State has always been there but I'm sure every Warrior fan wouldn't, no, couldn't believe it to be true.  Baron Davis was the heart and soul of this team.  He picked this franchise up from nothing.  When people think of Warrior Nation, it brings visions of Baron Davis dunking on AK47 or of Baron Davis kissing 3s to the crowd.  What hurts the most is that he knows this and he still left.

Career-wise, you can't blame Baron Davis for doing this.  He knew how much he was worth and the Warriors' front office wouldn't give him what he felt he rightfully deserved.  Would they have extended his contract next year, giving him that job security that every NBA player needs?  Doubtful. 

But damn...LA?  The only thing worse than going to the Clippers is going to the Lakers (the thought alone makes me want to rip my heart right out of me).  That southern region is the biggest rival of every Bay Area native.  It's a straight up slap to the face.

(I'm no Bay Area native, but I can only imagine that that's what it feels.)

Honestly, I think Baron should just admit that he wanted to be closer to Hollywood so he could pursue his hobby.  That it really was that selfish of a move.  If he had waited, I'm sure another team would have offered him just as much, if not more.  Then it would just be considered another strategic career move and not a selfish, back-stabbing, heartbreaking decision.

Baron Davis is a drama king, plain and simple.  A damn good baller, but a drama king nonetheless.  Good luck to Davis but I hope he doesn't go around claiming to want to win a ring now because then he'd just be full of bullshit.

Please Chris Mullin...do something.  Make a good offer and give us Warriors fans something to believe in.  I am tired of passing by every opportunity to make our team better.  Money shouldn't be an option when they're charging $80 for an upper level seat at Oracle Arena.

I'm just glad that I chose green and black Air Force Ones as opposed to the Baron Davis hardwood classic jersey for Christmas.
