LOL Demps finally got rid of his mistake. If not for doc, Austin would end up overseas after the season.

This is going to be an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. There's a reason even fast food restaurants prevent family from working together when one is in a position of authority.

Not gunna happen but who would you want to replace him, tbh?

A real GM like Brian Pauga, Troy Weaver, or Mike Zarren, and a real coach like David Fizdale, Mike Malone, or even a top Euro guy like Obradovic.

Balmer won't stand for it. He's a corporate guy and knows nepotism is ugly and causes dissent among the ranks. He doesn't want to lose what talent he has because Dad is playing Jr when he shouldn't be, or not playing him when he should be. The appearance of impropriety is a show stopper.

Hmm...good choices, but let me keep it real for a sec, as much as I hate on Doc Rivers I still think he's an above average coach. He has some strategy and seems to have some clever schemes both offensively and defensively (It's not like he's a Mike Woodson or Avery Johnson type coach), he gets his guys to play hard, and it seems like the Clips genuinely love playing for him. I think he's good for the Clippers as a coach, I don't know much about his exploits as GM though.

Regardless of what anybody thinks about Tom the coach, there's no argument regarding Tom the GM, he's really bad..predictable, too, I bet he signs Tayshaun Prince ASAP:lol..

Wonder if Tom Rivers is gonna pull the :cry racist :cry card if Ballmer opposes...

No. The last thing Doc wants is a family squabble because Jr didn't see playing time. Doc would quietly love it if Steve nixes that for ethics reasons.

Good call, probably trying to talk Battier out of retirement as well.

I dont know, Balmer is so full of Viagra and Booze that its hard to say, maybe he sees that as a good ¨family move¨ like the worst Windows versions, anyway he is loaded and the worst case scenario if he refuses is an Uncle Tom Rivers strike with Balmer being exposed as STERLING 2.0 ATTICA ATTICA! TBH!

Doc would probably be the catalyst for stopping the move, and he'd shield himself through ownership.

[baseline bum]

Rivers is so horrible. I knew he'd have a really rough rookie year, but never expected him to keep getting worse every year. I really thought this guy could be a Bobby Jackson instant offense off the bench kind of guy.

One has to be able to shoot to bring instant offense from the perimeter. The form on his shot is so horrible.

[Mal]

Dude wasnt NBA ready when he declared. Father have money, no idea why he didnt stay in Duke

[Spur-Addict]

I think Doc will be extra hard on him.

Should have been harder on him growing up to fix that terrible looking jump shot of his :lol

:lol I think I saw a video somewhere and Doc was saying something about how he was more of a spectator and father than a coach with him or some bullshit like that.

[Franklin]

Austin is such a big trash even his dad doesn't want to coach him, dude plainly sucks and his dad knows it better than any coach does, tbh.

Dude isn't NBA ready now either. Had he not come out as an overhyped freshman he would have been a second round talent playing in the NBDL. By coming out he made himself $7 million.

[Venti Quattro]

:cry what a great story tbh, a father coaching his son in the NBA

After Tom weathers racial abuse by his previous employer, he is rewarded with the golden opportunity to coach his son in the NBA... What a fucking great story for Hollywood :cry :cry :cry

[Malik Hairston]

:lol would be pretty funny if Whiteside becomes a productive player, tbh, considering how bad the Clippers' bench frontcourt is..

[DMC]

It's funny how people look at 7 million like it's just a waste of his talent, like he should have waited and seen how it would go. You could retire on 7 million, right now.

A top pick doesn't have any incentive to stay in school. It would generally be a bad idea to stay.

On Whiteside... why would Rivers want another center though? You guys reachin'

Udoh never plays and Hawes is a huge pussy who's afraid to shoot despite supposedly being a "stretch 5."

Lost any respect I had for that guy after this comment


“They still have not beaten our starting five,” Rivers told ESPN 980 in Washington D.C., making reference to the fact that Kendrick Perkins did not play in Game 7 after injuring his knee in Game 6.http://dy.snimg.com/story-image/2/56/166217/905-330-0.jpg
“Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring,” Rivers added. “We will be back strong, and Perk will be there next year if there’s a Game 7.”

This coming from a guy who was crying like a bitch when Phil Jackson said the Celtics didnt act classy during game 6 of the 2008 finals when they started celebrating prematurely.

Is there a more greasy looking coon in the NBA than Tom Rivers?

Aww man fuck yall....white people do this shit every day in corporate America.....in fact its the American Way...if it aint a direct blood relative its a close friend or a bitch you fucking....or you hook someone up because they're the same race...its all the same shit...
