Warriors or Baron Davis?

I read an article by Ann Killion in the San Jose Mercury News website. The article is about, Los Angeles Clippers Guard, Baron Davis. I picked this article because I believe that Baron Davis had an important role on the Warriors, and him leaving made me lose faith in the Warriors. The audience is to the Warriors fans. The purpose of this article is to give us information on wshether or not Baron Davis lost out on a deal or the Warriors. “In the lose-lose Baron Davis situation, don't believe for a moment that the Warriors came out ashead.” The sentence stands out to me because she doesn’t think either the Warriors or Baron Davis got lucky on a deal. She thinks that the both of them didn’t gain anything. She starts off with the background information and then brings up recent news. For example, she says how well Baron Davis was doing last year, then tells us how she is doing this year. The author is probably a warriors fan being in the Bay Area. Baron Davis played well with the warriors last season. She even says that under the coaching of Don Nelson, Baron was one of the top five point guards in the league. With Baron leaving the warriors because of money, could’ve made him upset. She was probably mad and wanted to show everyone that being on the warriors was not only good for us, but good for Baron too. “Davis had a chance to capitalize on the best years of his career.” She talks about Baron Davis playing well with the warriors coach, Don Nelson. She also says that Nelson’s system gave him freedom to do things on the court. She says that we can’t assume that Baron might not be as good on the Clippers as she was on the warriors. The author tells us that Baron Davis left the Warriors because the Clippers offered him a for sure contract, while the warriors couldn’t. She says Baron could’ve capitalized on the best years of his careers. She proves her point by comparisons. Baron Davis is not the same as he was. The Warriors are not the same either. She uses plenty of examples to prove her point in this article.
