Baron Davis's latest blog entry has showcased his support for Barack Obama in this fall's presidential election, according to Yardbarker.

Davis wrote on Saturday about how inspired he was by Obama's speech on Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention.

"Hope ya'll watched Barak Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night. If he didn't move you maybe the sound was turned down," Davis wrote. "When it was over I felt like I was ready to go out to Venice Beach and start registering people to vote right then at 9pm. We've got to show up on Nov. 4th to vote this man into the White House!!! FOR REAL!"

The Warriors were scheduled to take a look at free agent point guard Shaun Livingston in Chicago on Thursday, according to a report in Contra Costa Times.

Chris Mullin claims that the workout was scheduled before the Warriors learned that starting point guard Monta Ellis would be out for three months after having knee surgery.

As of right now Marcus Williams will be Golden State's starter, with C.J. Watson the backup.

Baron Davis was one of the many people who stayed up late to watch the Gold Medal game between the United States and Spain.  He was left impressed with Spain, proud of his fellow Americans and longing to play in London.

"Spain balled their asses off - can't wait till Rubio makes it to the league," wrote Davis in his blog.  "He's a gem. Portland should be nice too, with Oden AND Rudy Fernandez coming in (did you see that nasty one-hand over Dwight Howard, are you kidding???).

"It would be an honor to play for the gold in London 2012 to keep the Olympic title where it belongs, here in the US," added Davis.  "What a dream come true."

The Los Angeles Clippers today named Fred Vinson Assistant Coach/Director of Player Programs.  Vinson served as a Player Development consultant for the Clippers during the 2007-08 season.

?We feel that Fred?s background and experience as an NBA player will allow him to take on a mentoring roll with our young players and help ease their transition to the NBA,? stated Clippers? Director of Player Personnel Neil Olshey.

Shaun Livingston, one of the few free agent point guards left on the market, continues to workout in an attempt to draw suitors prior to the season, according to The Orange County Register.

The Clippers renounced their rights to Livingston last month, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Roughly 18 months ago he suffered a left knee injury that required surgery to repair ruptures on all the major ligaments in his knee, as well as cartilage repair.

He has been working out and taking part in full-scale pickup games with a few dozen NBA players.

The Los Angeles Clippers today signed free agent center Paul Davis, according to Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor.  Per team policy, terms of the deal were not announced.

Paul Davis joins Baron Davis and Ricky Davis on the Clippers? roster to bring the ?Davis? count to an NBA tying three.  Many teams? rosters have had as many as three players with the same surname throughout league history, but none with four.  The most recent example?  The ?05-?06 Toronto Raptors, with Aaron, Alvin and Eric Williams.  

Paul Davis was drafted by the Clippers with the 34th overall selection in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft and appeared in a total of 53 games for Los Angeles over the last two seasons. The Clippers had previously renounced his rights on July 16.

Clippers' center Chris Kaman is still receiving criticism for opting to play for Germany in this summer's Olympics, according to ESPN.com.

Kaman, who's great-grandparents were German, hasn't even received approval from his own father.

"My dad is not so thrilled," Kaman said. "My mom has always supported me; she's great. My dad is kind of negative about it. He's like, 'You're not German, you're an American citizen.' "

However, Kaman is now a German citizen, as well.

"He should be happy," Kaman said of his father, whom he has not spoken to since the Olympic tournament began. "It's his grandparents, so he should be happy about it, but sometimes he focuses on the negative a little bit. I tell him, 'C'mon, it's just basketball. That's the way I look at it.' But my dad was a little negative. I had to get in his face a little bit."

Clippers guard Dan Dickau has agreed to join the Euroleague team Avellino, according to a Yahoo.com report on Tuesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Dickau becomes the ninth NBA player, who held a job in the league last season, to defect to a foreign club.

Shaun Livingston, who did not receive a qualifying offer from the Clippers after the season, recently turned down a reported one-year guaranteed deal from the team.

"At this point and time, we had to move on," Baylor said about re-signing Livingston. "Shaun is not ready to make a commitment."

The Los Angeles Clippers today signed free agent guard Jason Williams, according to Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor.  Per team policy, terms of the deal were not announced.

A veteran of 10 NBA seasons, Williams joins the Clippers after playing the last three years for Miami, where he helped the Heat to the 2006 NBA Championship. Williams, 32, has played in 679 career regular season games and averaged 11.4 points, 6.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds for a total of three teams. The six-foot-one, 180 pound point guard has also started and played in 53 career playoff contests, averaging 9.8 points, 3.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals.

?Jason is an experienced and proven player,? Baylor said. ?He is a terrific ball handler with great passing ability and court vision.?
