    Saying all the right things.

    Rivers is important addition for sure but most import add so far has been Faried.

    Reserve right to update this thought after trade deadline.

    Rivers is a ******* quote machine. Houston media has to love him.

    Rivers is a master of saying the right thing. Less than 6 months ago, the greater Houston hated this guy. Now we are all worried that he might leave in the off season.

    He is the ideal fit as backup point guard to Chris Paul.

    It will be interesting to see how his contract and Faried’s plays out in free agency. They both have more value to the rockets than to the rest of the league. Rivers seems smart enough to know this.

    Not if what we're seeing right now is what his 3 ball is going to look like. ;)

    He loves Houston because it is mid winter which is like spring time everywhere else. Lets see if he sticks around in July.

    Keep in mind that Rivers was ballin out trying to keep our team afloat/ attractive to bring in the likes of Manimal.

    They both were brought in due to injuries and we gone be stacked when CP & CC return!

    Austin knows how to handle the media since he grew up watching his dad Philip Rivers do the same.

    I like his defense, toughness, ball handling (other than that 8 second violation), but most importantly his confidence and attitude. It is good to have a guy who won’t back down to back up Harden and CP3.

    Everybody loves Houston until you get that 3 yr non-guaranteed minimum contract offer
