By now most people have heard about Baron Davis attempting a comeback in the NBA. Davis, 36, last played for the Knicks in 2012 before suffering a gruesome knee injury. Davis hasn't played in four years, but he has made his way back to the basketball court. Davis is currently playing for the Delaware 87ers, the 76ers' D-League affiliate. Davis has been playing pretty well under low minutes. The question becomes, what is Davis' next move?
Most players that comeback to the league are looking to win an NBA championship. Tracy McGrady did this in 2013 with the San Antonio Spurs. Sometimes players are trying to find that one last opportunity to capture that ring that they have always strived for. Maybe Davis can do this by signing with a top team.

Another route Davis can go is he can be a mentor to a young team. He could be called up by the 76ers to provide the veteran leadership that always seems to be missing from the 76ers locker room. Or maybe he can go to Minnesota to take Garnett's place as the old head on the bench. He would be able to give tips to the younger guards in LaVine and Rubio. Garnett will without a doubt still be around the organization, but Davis will be on the road with the team and constantly involved with the activities the players will be doing. Something Garnett won't be apart of if he is no longer on the bench.
The future for Davis is cloudy. The NBA has a lot of depth at the point guard position and only two to three teams are looking for a point guard. With that in mind those teams probably aren't looking at Davis as the solution to there problem because of his age. He doesn't have much left to fill a big hole, but he would be a great addition for any team looking for veteran experience.
