His contract may be horrible, but if he was motivated to win a ring (and i'd like to think all NBA players want to win at least one...), playing fourth fiddle to Dirk, Howard, and Kaman doesn't seem like such a bad role for him. Would he be an overpriced fourth option? Hell yeah, but what's the point of bragging about an owner with deep pockets if he's not going to use them?
He will (and curerntly does) use them. But this isn't baseball; you can't correct a mistake by simply spending more. Baron Davis has a horrendous contract. You can't tie yourself to that kind of deal long term and expect to be successful.
