Baron Davis was traded from the Hornets to what team in 2005?

Baron Davis was traded from the New Orleans Hornets to the Golden State Warriors in 2005. The deal was completed on February 24, sending Davis to Golden State in exchange for guard Speedy Claxton and veteran forward Dale Davis.

The trade reunited Davis with his home-state NBA market and gave the Warriors a dynamic point guard capable of creating shots, attacking the rim, and pressuring opposing ball-handlers. Although injuries and knee problems affected parts of his tenure, Davis became the emotional centerpiece of Golden State’s “We Believe” team.

That story reached its high point during the 2006–07 season, when the eighth-seeded Warriors upset the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. It was Golden State’s first postseason series victory since 1991 and helped make Davis one of the defining players of the franchise’s modern revival. The Hornets later became known as the New Orleans Pelicans, while the Warriors retained their Golden State identity.
