Are Baron Davis and Steve Nash step brothers??

Are they even in the movie Step Brothers?

Nope, they are just too fun NBA players trying to crack their way into the movie industry.

Davis has long been known for his will to be in movies, but Nash has only recently made it public that he has interest in becoming a director in Hollywood.

Elton Brand has opened his mouth and said one thing, and is now opening his wallet acting in a different way.

The Philadelphia Sixers have apparently received confirmation from Elton Brand and his agent that he will be joining Andre Miller and Andrew Igoudala along with Samuel Dalembert in the slowly improving Eastern Conference.

David Falk and Elton Brand originally came out as the free agency market opened up and stated that Brand’s intentions are to remain with the Los Angeles Clippers while taking a pay cut to bring in more talent to surround Brand with. After the Clippers acquired the services of Baron Davis, the Clippers looked well underway to finally compete in the West with two legitimate superstars.

Like I mentioned earlier, it’s not quite the way it worked out.

Elton Brand has decided to follow the money, and potentially a great opportunity in Philadelphia, while the Clippers were given a word and left with a big hole at the power forward spot.

Now here’s the question, who do you feel worse for… Baron Davis or the Los Angeles Clippers.

Baron Davis wanted to go to LA where he can play in front of his home crowd and pair up with Elton Brand to make some noise.

The Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling finally dished out big money for a superstar free agent and got stabbed in the back by his long time hero Elton Brand.

You be the judge, but either way, with Elton Brand out of the picture, perhaps even Baron Davis may want to reconsider his recent decision.

The crosstown rival of the Los Angeles Lakers has finally decided to invest money into building a contending team. Often being overshadowed by the accomplishments of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling finally decided enough was enough.

As Baron Davis opted out of his contract in Golden State late last night, he soon found himself a new home. Actually, he’s back in his old home. A Los Angeles native and former student at UCLA, Davis returns to his hometown. Unfortunately, it’s for the 2nd best team in town, but either way, home is home.

It has been reported that the new contract is for five years and is worth approximately $65 million. This is a good deal for the Clippers in my opinion. No need for Correy Maggette now and there is still enough cap space to sign Elton Brand to a lucrative deal. Let’s not forget that the Clippers aren’t the only ones that broke the bank to make this happen, with cutting his contract to well under $15 million for next season, Baron Davis has taken a significant pay cut, short term, from the $17.8 million he was due from the Warriors next season.

I truly believe that with all the youngster on the current Clippers roster, the developing Chris Kaman, and the always ready to go Elton Brand, the Clippers will be ready to go at the beginning of the season and will give every other NBA team a run for their money, except the Lakers of course who are still loaded with last year’s roster plus Andrew Bynum and a healthy Trevor Ariza.

The NBA was fun last season, but this next season just seems to be that much more promising.

O yeah, and for those of you who believe the Warriors won’t be able to compete next year, think again, Monta Ellis has developed into a fine young point guard and is sure to be a great leader for years to come.

Baron Davis has decided not to go for the big bucks. He may have also decided he’s done playing under Don Nelson.

It has become pretty well known as of late that Nelson has plans to play the young guys on the Warriors roster plenty more than he did this last season. Of course, this means that Monta Ellis will be gaining considerable minutes and possibly hurting the playing time of Baron Davis.

With just a few years remaining in the prime of Davis, he doesn’t want to take any chances at not succeeding. Just like Elton Brand and Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis has opted out and will be looking for a new long term contract, even if it means making less money, which it does.

The free agent market is now open for hunting and teams like the Warriors, Wizards, Sixers, Bobcats, and Clippers are sure to make some noise. Of course, there are a limited number of franchise players available, but those that are will surely get rewarded.

Adam Sandler has recently finished his new movie, Zohan. The advertising campaign has started and with the NBA Playoffs being the most popular thing on TV, what better way to advertise than to incorporate this highly anticipated event?

The commercials for the playoffs have been spectacular, and I’ve mentioned before how much I like the split screen ads. The Kobe Shaq ad was the first one to do it for me, then I saw them come up one after the other and I have officially been hit with the best one of them all.

A split screen commercial with Adam Sandler and Baron Davis knocking on the Golden State Warriors for not making the playoffs.

Take a look for yourself:
