The Los Angeles Clippers expect their trade of guard Baron Davis and a first round pick for Cleveland's Mo Williams and Jamario Moon to go through on Sunday, despite a delay in Davis taking and passing his physical. The trade must be completed by 5 p.m. ET on Sunday. Williams and Moon passed their physicals on Friday, but were held out of both Friday and Saturday night's games because Davis still hasn't passed his physical. ESPN.com

Clippers general manager Neil Olshey said the team isn't concerned about the delay ... yet. "They're doing their due diligence on him from a physical standpoint, and we'll hear something [Sunday]," Olshey said during the Clippers 99- 92 loss to the Celtics on Saturday night. "I'm not concerned because we had a goal and we met it, they had a goal and they met it, and they were well aware of the variables on Thursday when they made a decision to move Mo for Baron. None of that has changed." ESPN.com

The Clippers and the Cavaliers agreed in principle Wednesday to a deal that would send veteran point guard Baron Davis to Cleveland for guard Mo Williams, according to a league source who was not authorized to speak about the trade discussions. There are other moving parts to the deal, which should be finalized by Thursday morning or afternoon, barring unforeseen complications, the source said.

Both Powe and Jamario Moon are expected to have their contracts bought out, rendering both free agents, but it won't happen before the trade deadline, a league source said. Powe quietly approached management earlier this season and asked to be moved if he wasn't going to play. His recurring knee troubles and lack of consistent playing time have stripped him of any real trade value, but he could help a contender as another big off the bench. ''We're trying to work on something,'' Powe said of a buyout. ''I want an opportunity to play. You brought me out here to play; you might as well just move me on.'' Akron Beacon Journal

Forward Jamario Moon inexplicably played 21 minutes in the Memphis game. He hadn’t played any meaningful minutes for weeks, it seems. Many ask why he doesn’t play. The Cavs don’t seem to like his devil-may-care attitude. He’ll likely be included in a deal at the deadline. Morning Journal

Forward Jamario Moon went from being the starter at small forward to not playing at all against Detroit. “I’m just looking at other guys,” Scott said. “Joey (Graham) played pretty well for a while and hasn’t played real well the last few games. Jawad (Williams) has played pretty good.” Moon said he didn’t break any team rules. “I didn’t do anything,” he said. “I don’t know. I’m lost. It was the first time I haven’t played since I was a rookie and I wasn’t playing. “I’m trying to figure it out, too. I’m not going to make a big fuss about it. I’ll be there when he calls my name. You have to take the good with the bad.” Morning Journal

Moon says he has no hard feelings toward James for leaving. "I played flag football with him this summer," Moon said. "I played softball with him. Me and LeBron are still cool. I sent him a text saying 'Hey, man, I appreciate the opportunity you gave me'...he had to do what he had to do. He has his family and his own situation." NBA.com

The problem is that the Cavs have the most attractive assets to entice the Raptors into such an arrangement, being able to offer Anderson Varejao, Anthony Parker or Jamario Moon and Delonte West, who only has $500,000 of his $4.5 million contract guaranteed for next season. The sign-and-trade route would allow Toronto to come to grips with Bosh's seemingly inevitable departure while bringing back assets -- including possibly future draft picks -- in the deal. But Bosh, who shares an agent with fellow free agent Dwyane Wade, would have to sign off on such an arrangement and remains decidedly unenthusiastic about joining James in Cleveland, the person familiar with the talks said. "If LeBron went to New Jersey, he'd consider that," the person said of Bosh. "It's too late for New York. He wants to play with LeBron if LeBron leaves, but not necessarily in Cleveland."

The Suns have talked to Cleveland about a deal that would send Barbosa there for Jamario Moon, whose contract expires in a year, and Delonte West, who can be bought out of his contract. Barbosa has two years and $14.7 million remaining on his deal. Moving Barbosa could put Phoenix in a position to save $3.5 million this season and have more salary-cap space next summer, when Jason Richardson's contract expires, for a maximum-level free agent. However, after Carmelo Anthony, the 2011 free-agency pool won't be nearly as strong, and there is a strong chance of a lockout. Arizona Republic
