    The son betrays the father.

    Delayed adolescent rebellion?

    He's basically Jeremy Lin... Without the craziness. Not my 1st choice, but id gladly take him as a backup guard!

    Don't know why you guys are crapping on him after these playoffs. He stepped in for CP3 and kept the Clips competitive.

    Do I believe he will be good in MDA's system? I can't say
    But, he more than earned my respect. He's a tough young competitor and he belongs in this league

    We will hire Austin D'Antoni, not Austin Rivers.

    That river never had any water in it!

    This guy is posturing again. Hes gonna be on the market, not get any serious looks and his daddy is going to sign him for another 2 year contract with an option on the second year. What a joke this guy is.

    Followed his career since his days at Winter Park.

    I'm not saying he's anything special. I think, at this point in his career at least, he's been a bit of a disappointment. But you guys acting like the kid can't play is just ignorant! He's a very serviceable combo guard. When he's been successful, it's been in open floor P&R situation. I think he could be a good backup guard for us.

    I have to wonder, if you don't see that, have YOU ever actually seen him play!?

    Don't sign him now. Sign him in 2018 to help lure Doc here.

    Rivers used to be Corey Brewer-level bad. Now, he's just bad.
