Williams and Davis each have two years left on their deal.<br /><br />Williams @ $8.5 million, $8.5 million (player option, so he could opt out but is he really gonna get a baseline of $8.5 million? Doubtful.)<br /><br />Davis @ 13.9, 14.8 mil.<br /><br />So the clippers save $5.4 million in 2012, and $6.3 million in 2013. In 2012, it won't affect their ability to sign a free agent.<br /><br />Basically, the Clippers traded Davis, who Sterling had personal issues with, to the NBA Siberia in Cleveland. Sterling saves $11.7 million over the course of 2 years, and the Clippers don't have Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.com
