Someone needs to work out the math on this...

I admit I don't know all the ends and outs of nba salaries, but if you look at the first post in this thread that I posted.

The Clippers are the other team that could have space if they do not re-sign unrestricted free agent Corey Maggette. Maggette exercised his early termination option in his contract, leaving the Clippers about $10 million under the cap if they choose not to re-sign him. A few other teams -- the Wizards, Bobcats, Sonics and Bulls -- could conceivably get some cap room, but for it to happen they'd have to let their major free agents walk. ESPN.com

they were going to be $10 mil under before the Baron Davis signing without Maggette, which Baron Davis contract is about $11-$13 mil a year right? (5 for 65 is $11m/year) So aren't they over even without Maggette?
But dude every site talking about Davis to Clippers is saying the Clippers then can't resign Maggette, there's no reason to think that's not true.
