What will we do with Randolph?

He makes 1.2M so I don't know if it matters.  What I remember of him in 2013? was that he was a strong rebounder and decent post presence.  Give him Olynyk's minutes.   

I liked him then for his hustle and being hard-nosed, literally.

My lasting image of him was him playing with a bloody  cotton plug up one of his nostrils after he got bloodied.

TP...thanks

Getting Shavlik now lets the Celtics trade Bass and still have four decent big men to send out every game.

It does?

When did Shav Randolph become decent?

I see you've forgot the hallucinations that were March 2013.

Nepotism at its finest, giving up assets for a scrub.  If we hold out long enough, maybe we can get DeAndre Jordan.

LOL. Pipe dream.  But it is pretty cool that we will be getting assets in return for a scrub like Austin Rivers, just because he is related to his father.  Well if it makes Doc happy, and it gets us basically something for nothing, why the hell not? Win-win!

We've already won.  Danny wouldn't be facilitating these deals if he thought it was going to help the Clippers.  Danny is just subtly undermining their plans.  I love it.

Anyone catch the Clips/Cleveland game last night?  The key juncture where the Cavs made their move and the Clips lost the game came with Rivers on the court early in the 4Q.  He did not play well.

He was terrible and he said as much after the game.  Looking a little more comfortable tonight, but you still get the sense that he is not an NBA player.  He meanders around the court without much purpose a lot of the time.

Yeah, when he got picked at midcourt you could see the momentum starting to swing.

are there any conditions on the Clipper 2nd round pick?

It'll probably be one of the last 10 picks in the draft, so hardly worth protecting.  I'm guessing not.

NBA Where Nepotism Happens!

nepotism - the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.

None have been reported.
