    Austin got a huge 2nd chance with Doc. He was absolutely horrible coming there. Hes put in the work to be decent, but in no other system would he have gotten that kind of chance and leash.

    None. Doc paid handsomely for a guy Ainge was sending to the D league to end his rookie deal.

    Rivers is an NBA rotation worthy player but the problem Doc is tolerating enabling his spoiled, arrogant, brat behavior and attitude.

    He is NOW.

    Not when he got him. He was on his way of the league, Ainge was going to D league him.

    Doc let Austin play through the **** times, that most coaches wouldn't invest in.

    Which is exactly why you don't mix family with business.

    As soon as he was traded from the Hornets to the Clippers, you could see it coming. Especially when you're father is not only your coach but also running the teams operations on acquisitions, free agents, and extensions.

    Now Doc has a lottery team on his hands and no son on the team you coach.

    if he wasn't doc's daughter, then having a thread for austin rivers is like having a thread for tyler ulis.
