I voted no, because I'm not sure how his behavior will be like, but I want him to succeed 100 percent within the team concept.
The Rockets are in desperate need of NBA level rotation players. Rivers is that. He is also a douche.
Austin Rivers isn't good, but he is our only option at the moment for serviceable depth. This all comes back to Morey's moronic decision to not address backup point guard this offseason. I like the signing given the current situation we're in, but in a vacuum, no, it's bad. We shouldn't have been in a position to rely on Austin Rivers coming in mid-season to save the day.
People who think this is a good move are being short sighted. Yes it fills a spot but Rivers is not a positive force on any team. Hes a spoiled, entitled kid who thinks hes better than he is. This is a big indication of how poor our depth was coming into the season. Thats on Morey. This whole thing makes me sick. Cp3's hammy & contract. Bringing in rivers....i want to gouge out my eyeballs, bleech my skin and yell profanities at strangers
The U.S. Border Security is hiring volunteers to do this very thing, until the wall is built, spread out at 100yd intervals.
I like it not because I think he's a game changer but because it'll be entertaining to watch him shaqtin
He wanted to be clippers starter last year. when porter was injured, he wanted to be wizards starter.
"Rivers and Paul had an acrimonious history with the Clippers, but sources said Paul had no objections to the Rockets' decision to sign Rivers." http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25601269/guard-austin-rivers-signing-rockets maybe Bzdelik can follow suit regarding Melo... lol
Morey is targeting dicks and bums. These are dicks, Melo, jr Smith, Austin rivers. Both Melo and rivers want pt.
Now that Rivers has signed I just noticed how hot he actually is. Damn he really is one of those hot dudes
PRO: He’s a warm body He’s better than Brandon Knight He’s ok at creating looks for himself and others CON: He’s Austin Rivers He’s got a big ego He can’t guard a rolling chair
