Jonathan Abrams of the LOS ANGELES TIMES reports late today that Baron Davis, fresh off opting out of the clutches of the Golden State Warriors, will sign on a 5-year, $65M deal with the L.A. Clippers. The deal will be made official on July 9, when the NBA announces next season’s salary cap.

Abrams got his info from Davis’ agent Todd Ramasar, who said, “From a basketball standpoint it’s always been about winning for Baron. This presented a good opportunity to do that to pair him with Chris Kaman and Elton Brand is expected back.”

It’s all about winning, so that’s why he’s signing with the Clippers? Makes perfect sense.

Also keep in mind, Elton Brand will have to take a pay cut if he is to return to the club.
