Clippers sign Davis; NBA suspends two
Friday, July 11, 2008

The Los Angeles Clippers signed free agent Baron Davis to a multiyear contract yesterday, bringing the two-time All-Star point guard home to Los Angeles.

Davis, 29, averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds for Golden State last season. He helped lead the Warriors to a surprising first-round upset of top-seeded Dallas in the playoffs before they lost to Utah in the second round.

Kings

Center Brad Miller was suspended for five games by the NBA because he violated the league drug program. Miller, whose ban is set to begin with the first game of the 2008-09 season, averaged 13.4 points and 9.5 rebounds in 72 games last season.

Bulls

Guard JamesOn Curry was suspended for one game by the NBA after he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors in Idaho. Curry was arrested in January and pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and urinating in public. A second-round draft pick in 2007, Curry spent most of his season in the Developmental League.

Spurs

San Antonio and unrestricted free agent Roger Mason agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth more than $7 million. Mason, a 6-foot-5 guard, averaged a career-high 9.1 points and 1.7 assists in 80 games last season with the Washington Wizards. Mason's agent said the deal would pay Mason "just a little less than" $8 million.

Warriors

Golden State signed high-scoring free agent Corey Maggette. Reports said Maggette, 28, was signed to a five-year contract worth around $50 million. He appeared in 70 games last season with the Clippers. He averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.01 steals in 35.7 minutes per contest.

Wizards

Dee Brown was signed to an offer sheet by Washington after spending last season in Turkey. The Utah Jazz, who retained Brown's NBA rights while he was overseas, have seven days to match the offer.
