Cavs send Mo Williams & Moon to Clippers for Davis

Fox Sports wrote:LEVELAND -- The Cavaliers have reached a deal on the NBA's final day to make a trade. And if you're a fan of the team, this one will likely make you smile.

According to multiple reports and sources, the Cavs will send guard Mo Williams and forward Jamario Moon to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Baron Davis and a 2011 first-round pick. One source close to the situation told FOXSportsOhio.com the trade was merely awaiting approval from the NBA as of early Thursday morning.

Teams have until 3 p.m. ET Thursday to complete trades.

This one will likely give the Cavs two lottery picks -- their own and that of the Clippers, provided the Clippers don't finish strong and make the playoffs. Based on records alone, the Cavs would possess the Nos. 1 and 8 picks in the draft if the season ended today. They also still possess their valuable $14.5 million trade exception.

The key to the deal, according to sources, was the Cavs' willingness to take on Davis' contract. He is due to make around $13.8 million next season and $14.8 million in 2012-13.

The deal was first reported by NBA.com and Yahoo! Sports.

Davis fell out of favor with Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who reportedly taunted Davis from the stands early in the season. Apparently, Sterling was disappointed with the underperforming point guard, who showed up to training camp overweight.
