Thoughts on Baron Davis and Elton Brand

- Yes, they are both very good players, and yes they can both opt out of their contracts this summer.

- But, they also both have Hollywood aspirations.

- Davis has a film production company, Verso Entertainment, that he formed with Jessica Alba’s new husband (BOOO!) Cash Warren, who played high school ball with Davis. He is producing “Made in America,” a documentary about the Crips and Bloods in LA.

- Brand also has a film production company, Gibraltar Films, that produced Rescue Dawn, a Vietnam-era war pic starring Christian Bale, which was critically acclaimed if not very commercially successful.

- The point is, both of these guys want to be Hollywood big shots, and they both have been able to head towards that goal because they play ball in California. We all know how tough it is to convince players to come spend the Winter in Cleveland, but it’s going to be even harder to make guys like Davis and Brand happy.

- I’m not saying that it means that Brand or Davis couldn’t come here, I’m just saying that it’s more complicated than making the numbers work. And even if one of them does come to Cleveland, they would likely leave after next year anyway.
