[ESPN]Rivers to Clips (and other deals too)

Los Angeles Clippers will become Los Angeles Circus.

 

Austin is going to suck, Doc will have no choice but to give him limited minutes, and then their father/son relationship will start to suck. Terrible move by Doc.

 

Yeah, it's never a good thing to have father-son in a coach-player situation.

Classic case of conflict of interest.

 

Man, if Austin River doesn't get to play after a few games, I wonder what Mrs. Rivers does to Coach Rivers. Things get complicated.

 

this would piss me off if I was a clippers fan. Austin is not a good enough player to be worth dealing with all the weirdness surrounding this

 

Clips are stupid. Suns are collecting interesting pieces left & right -- I like Reggie Bullock.

 

Next item on Doc's agenda, re-up Austin Rivers for a max contract.

 

I really don't understand this move. This will only be a distraction for the team. They should've just waited to sign Nate Robinson.

 

Coached my son from birth to about eleven then he didn't want me to coach requested it and I turned team over to another coach and the teamed failed miserably then my son asked if I would take back on coaching duties that season, I did team begin to win, but father and son coaching relationship didn't work well. Now my son is now playing in junior high and is more interested playing me one on one than me teaching.

 

I think it's more what Mrs. Rivers won't do that will get Doc's attention.

 

Welcome to Houston, Chris Paul.

 

The Clippers are rife with conflicts of interest. GM and coach being the same person. And a father-son relationship.

GM, coach, and father in one, is just nuts.

I know he did a lot for the organization when the Sterling situation happened, he has way too much pull in the organization for his own good now.

 

This is all part of Clippers plan to stay relevant by trading Chris Paul away.

 

I wouldn't mind having Nate to split time with Bev....

 

Stop taking the insanity pills.

They work.

 

Hopefully this trade will make them lose some games lol

 

What was this about?!
