Bye-bye Ricky
Heat free agent Ricky Davis signed a multi-year deal with the L.A. Clippers Monday, officially ending his second stint with Miami. The veteran swingman became expendable following the Heat's free agent signing of former University of Miami standout James Jones earlier this month.
Davis, 28, averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season, and was the only Heat player to appear in all 82 games.
In before all the badmouthing begins... Good pick-up for the Clips. They need to shore up at SG, although I wonder how this will affect Eric Gordon? You'd think he'd would have been getting big minutes seeing how Cuttino Mobley was their only other prominent SG. Now he'll be fighting it out with Mobley and Ricky for minutes. It's of no consequence to the Heat given that we have D-Wade, D. Cook, James Jones, Shawn Marion, and probably Dorell Wright on the wing.

He is what he is, a stat guy on bad teams. doesn't make him a bad guy though. Can you believe the Pistons gave Kwame 9 million for two years? They must be out of their minds. Its getting down to the dregs of free agency now. I'm still pulling for Arroyo and Elson Guys that could probably be had on the cheap and could contribute.

You have to give him respect for playing all 82 games.
But he just wasn't very good. And we gave up a future 1st to get him.
One of the worst trades in Heat history, to be sure.
