LOL Stern's revenge on cheap-ass Sterling.
Stern making sure he leaves his mark before he rides off into the sunset.

Clippers
Getting ed by Stern
Doc Rivers still = 1st round flameout
Clippers thinking this makes em championship contenders
Brad Turner @BA_Turner 1 minute ago
Clippers always stayed in contact with Chris Paul, Blake Griffn aobut coaching search. Never got impression he was upset, just hoped 4 best
Paul AND Griffin running the show
Without the KG-for-DeAndre aspect, this deal is pretty mediocre for the Clippers.
I'd look elsewhere for a coach. Doc is pretty damn overrated.
^He's a little overrated but he's MUCH better than VDN. He was who Chris Paul wanted in order to reassure that he would stay with LAC and he's a players coach that will attract FA's at the very least. And the 1st round pick they gave up will be a late one. Still a good move overall imo.
Yeah, and a lot of people have won the lottery. Doesn't mean buying a ticket is a sensible plan.
Doc is an improvement in that he has a playbook
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLinenow
To reiterate: All indications are NBA WILL approve LAC deal for Doc Rivers. But all indications also are any KG-to-Clips trade gets blocked
Also, I think the whole "can't have side deals" idea is stupid. Why the not? Eh, go figure. It's the NBA.
its a good thing. be glad you guys aren't picking up deandre
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine3m
But if KG-for-DeAndre all the way gone, maybe Vinny Del Negro's hopes of getting pal Danny Ainge to give him shot to succeed Doc are revived
Del Negro to the Celtics
Stern's doing you a solid man, so stop complaining.
How long would the Clippers have to wait before doing the kg deal? How soon is too soon for stern?
They won't do it. Unless its a 3 or 4 team trade. Who knows.
Probably next season, if KG is still in the league.
Stern's a joke.... if the KG trade gets blocked, the players' union should get involved..... does Stern realize he's basically dictating where a player can go and how he can use his no-trade clause? He's setting a terrible precedent here on his way out the door, tbh....
biting the hand that feeds you.... CP3 would be the main man on the Lakers right now if Stern didn't step in.
Clippers will send an unprotected 2015 first-round pick to the Celtics in exchange for Doc Rivers.
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons1m
Celts saved 21 mill, lost a coach who had already quit on them + picked up an unprotected future 1st from a crazy franchise. Nice day.
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons25s
Celts did a nice job of pretending this weekend that Doc might go back there (for leverage w/ Clips). No way Wyc was taking him back. None.
Lol Simmons is so salty.
LOL now that would be hilarious. Ainge thinks he can do no wrong, would love to see him throwing tantrums on the sidelines next year when the C's inevitably have a disappointing season.
