Doc Rivers and Clippers have mutual interest

bledsoe is the holdup?

ha..............that amusing

It's not that bledsoe is the hold up! It is CP3!!!
Clips were ready to give up bledsoe and jordan during the season for KG,
but now that they don't know if CP3 will sign they want to have Bledsoe as their backup plan at the point.

So let's get this right....


The clips were willing to ship Eric and Jordan to Boston for KG before the trading deadline....
Boston is ready to ship KG and Doc for the same deal, but since the Clips pissed CP3 off its not a sure thing he'll resign, so Eric is a no go. While this is occurring Blake Griffin is hearing his name in trade talks for Dwight HowArd, also Paul Pierce don't know if his beloved Celtics will cut him....

KG and DOC for jordan, bledsoe and 2 draft pick.

this is actually a good deal if it goes through, but does this mean the Celtics would try to move Rondo if they get Bledsoe ?? I know in the past his name has come up in trade talks
 
Ainge is waiting KG,KG is waiting on what happens with Pierce...

And Doc is waiting on the above...

I feel like Doc kinda sold the Celtics out...but he's been coaching for 10 years...dude really probably just needs a break, Kg aint going to help the clippers win a chip, he is an upgrade over D jordan, even when he turns 45.
 
Celtics-Clippers talks to send Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett to L.A. stall

Discussions over a blockbuster deal to send Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett to the Los Angeles Clippers – with Doc Rivers as coach – reached an impasse on Saturday afternoon, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Clippers are willing to part with center DeAndre Jordan and a first-round draft pick for Garnett – and the rights to hire Rivers – but so far have refused to include Boston's desire for point guard Eric Bledsoe into the package, sources said.

Since the February trade deadline, Bledsoe had been a part of talks for Garnett, and more recently, Rivers, but that changed Saturday morning, league sources said. The Clippers were no longer willing to part with Bledsoe, sources told Y! Sports.

If the deal completely falls apart, Celtics management and Rivers are still committed to his return to Boston as coach.

Boston general manager Danny Ainge has requested Bledsoe and a second first-round pick, but all involved believe that Bledsoe's inclusion into the package would get a deal done.

Celtics and Clippers management – as well as Rivers – want a finality to these discussions in short order, sources involved told Yahoo! Sports. No one involved has shown an appetite for these talks to linger without resolution.

Garnett, 37, will waive his no-trade clause to leave Boston only if Rivers joins him as coach, sources said. Rivers still needed to talk to Clippers star Chris Paul about his free-agency plans this summer, sources told Yahoo! Sports. It is believed that the arrival of Rivers and Garnett would be the final moves needed to assure Paul to re-signing with the Clippers in July.

Rivers has three years and $21 million left on his Celtics contract, but doesn't want to stay in Boston unless the Celtics are willing to bring back Garnett and Paul Pierce to avoid rebuilding for another year, sources said. Boston will not let Rivers coach or work anywhere in the NBA for the duration of his contract without compensation, sources said.

The Clippers have shown a willingness to give Rivers a contract extension that's competitive with his Boston salary, sources said. Throughout this awkward process, Boston has told Rivers that it still wants him to return as coach should the Clippers discussions never reach fruition, sources said.

While the Clippers had the wistful thought of trying to arrange a sign-and-trade to acquire Dwight Howard for Bledsoe and Blake Griffin, the Lakers have flatly rejected the idea, sources said.

"They'll never do it," one source with direct knowledge of the conversations told Yahoo! Sports.

So far, the Lakers have rejected every possible sign-and-trade scenario for Howard, sources said. The possibility of trading him within the Staples Center is probably the least palatable scenario of all should they be forced to lose him for nothing in July and finally do agree to a sign-and-trade possibility.

Bledsoe can be a restricted free agent in 2014 and it will be difficult to pay him a market value with Paul on the roster.

Danny Ainge will want a lot in return for KG and Rivers or he will not do the trade

Oh you know that's coming!!:(

Ainge can't keep reins on rondo with doc, KG and Pierce gone.
Ainge will ship him for a 2 guard.
 
I feel like Doc kinda sold the Celtics out...but he's been coaching for 10 years...dude really probably just needs a break, Kg aint going to help the clippers win a chip, he is an upgrade over D jordan, even when he turns 45.

This is the exact reason it's mind blogging when people choose to bash players when "THEY" decide their own faith. Owner and gm's do what they think best for the team, but players can't do what's best for "THEM"... GTFOH

Your have former players all chirping about shit that don't matter to them one bit.
"I wouldve never did this or did that", but steady knocking these current players for not winning a title. "You won't be here unless you win this or that amount". One group of played made a move during the "offseason" as free agents and everyone goes bananas. The following year there's a messy situation with a player wanting to change addresses for the bright lights.

Then there's players that don't know what the fuck they want to do, so former players(who bashed the young brothas for joining forcing after they told them they had to win rings to be great) decide to egg them on about choosing this current team to join forces over here(his former employer)...


Yea this too


Player "A" signing with the rival and former teammates talk slick, but can't confirm they'll be employed there. All waiting on espn ticker to delivery thier faiths.
Talk about being loyal....

Yep.

What about right after the lockout Nene stayed "loyal" or whatever and signs with the Nuggets who then trade him to basketball Hell the Washington Wizards just a few months later

Then you got a Celtic fan in here calling Ray Allen a traitor when the Celtics constantly had him in trade rumors :lol:

Fuck loyalty in pro sports if you want to be loyal fine but if you are thinking me first I'm fine with that too
 
1. Boston is on the clock not the clippers.

Clippers don't have to give into Boston's demands. Boston is the one trying to get young and talented players for KG. Only reason the Clippers are entertaining this because KG talent is perfect for a team like the Clippers but he isn't the only guy one the market.

a. Clippers aren't moving Bledsoe until Cp3 resigns and rightfully so. We don't know what could happen during the draft and what team could make what move. Hold on to Bledsoe for another month and when Cp3 resigns you can move him.

b. Doc Rivers is a great coach but their are other talented coaches on the market as well. Hollins, Shaw and Karl. It's not like the Clippers do not have options. It's Boston that needs to rebuild/retool. Keeping KG and releasing Paul will be more of a problem for Boston.

c. Once Cp3 resigns they will be able to move Eric Bledsoe and still package him with DeAndre Jordan which will be able to give them a lot.
 
Dwight and cp3 are some hoe ass niggas

Doc rivers a true Chicago nigga takin that big ass contract knowing these niggas old as shit
 
Danny ainge wants him to be around for the rebuild but doc ain't for that shit

Yeah Doc ain't wit it :lol:

I don't blame him fuck that

Cuban tricked Carlisle into his plan

His wife spilled the beans he was heated in 2011

Said he didn't resign to coach a rebuilding team and would have asked for more bread

Rick wife said this???

Thats the word

It didn't make any news headlines or nothing like that though

It's obvious as Mavs fan he hates what is going on though

He has basically refused to play the young players we do/did have :lol:

He worked hard to get a title coaching and then to be given a bullshit roster to work with going forward

All is so true, but Boston will not let this linger on. Pierce's buyout ends June 30th, and if this trade with the clips does not happen before then, it will not happen.
That is why all the rush to get things done.

So the ball is in CP3 court. Everybody is ready to play ball but CP3

Yep but Cp3 is going to take his time in this free agency. Deron took 3 days to make his decision. Dwight has already said he will likely take the whole week. Cp3 we don't know every team he will be meeting with.

We know Houston is interested, Atlanta and Dallas.

Another thing to note. Orlando is dangling the their first round pick and Aaron Affalo for Bledsoe.

Cp3 wanted the Clippers to get Marshon Brooks last July and when the Nets were looking for a third team the clippers came because they wanted Brooks.

I don't see them moving Bledsoe for Brooks but the Nets want a back up big man for Lopez.
