    go sign Austin Rivers.

    Dad getting flack for trading for him, might be a hard sale to bring him back to L.A.

    Clippers say they want to resign him but we might be able to do better money wise. We all saw him be a threat in the playoffs. He is another offensive shot creator. Yeah he is young and still makes some mistakes but i think he would be good in our offensive style of play. I also think him and James Harden could eventually play together and be interchangeable ball handlers. Plus he has more playoff experience than a rookie would bring, and frees us up to draft best available player instead of position of need.

    any thoughts.

    Haven't we had enough Jeremy Lin in Houston by now? Might as well bring back the original Jeremy Lin. Rivers is pretty much the same player, but without the idiot fans.

    He needs the ball in his hands to be effective, and even then he is not that effective.

    Austin Rivers is Jeremy Lin. He will lose more games for you and than win.

    Imagine an overconfident Jeremy Lin who can't shoot. Just what we need.

    dont need a driving, offensive PG. all of river's 'skills' are the ones we dont covet in a PG. Harden is our play making guard on offense.

    I think a sneaky offseason move would be to choose a ring style

    I don't think that terrible 10th guys of the bench should be something to target.

    Austin Rivers? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GTFO!
