Knicks Were Baron Davis' First Choice

[Hunter]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>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.</div>

Where do they get this stuff? Baron is from LA, does a lot of charity work in LA, and owns a movie production company based out of LA. That is where he's wanted to go his whole career. It's so rediculous how everybody supposedly wants to go to NY.
