The worst that could happen is he plays like garbage and we don't pick up his QO next year. That would leave us in the exact same place we would have been with Salmons.

Why are they thrilled about clearing that ?Low risk contract to take on, IMO. 22 years of age. Get a coach in there that knows how to put him in a position to succeed.

We receivedAustinTayshaunAnd 1st from MemphisAnd now sending Austin to Clippers... Wonder what we're getting out of that !!
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 47s 48 seconds agoCeltics willing to move A. Rivers for 2nd-round pick. For Clippers, it's free look at 10th overall pick -- who'd only be college senior now.
i don't want farmer for him, he has a player option for next year, something like bullock or wilcox + CRD should work
I tend to think there are people out there who genuinely just don't like Doc Rivers or his son which shows that their opinion probably isn't the most factual and is more emotionally charged.
