Baron Davis: Knicks were first choice

[RenegadeLonghorn]

It's worth mentioning that before guard Baron Davis finally agreed to a five-year, $65-million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday, his representatives checked out the Knicks' interest in him, a source told Newsday. In May, Newsday reported that Davis, before he decided to opt out of his contract with the Golden State Warriors, reached out through intermediaries to see if the Knicks had any interest in acquiring him in a trade.

"It clearly seemed that New York would have been Baron's first choice if there were a fit," said a person with knowledge of Davis' situation.

I can picture it now: B-Diddy signs with the Knicks, breaks his leg in his first game, and kill the Knicks financially for 5 years. Actually that's what half the Knicks roster has done :P

Half the Knicks roster has broken their legs?!?!?

[demonpower55]

Stephon Marbury, Eddy Curry, Quentin Richardson(back problem), Jerome James, David Lee, Jared Jeffries(hand)

I'm sure there are more, but these are off the top of my head.

I was just joking...the Knicks have had a terrible roster with terrible contracts for several years...hopefully D'Antoni can change that
