Clippers Doc Rivers to Clippers For 1st Round Pick

**Chinook** · 06-23-2013

Yeah, and a lot of people have won the lottery. Doesn't mean buying a ticket is a sensible plan.

Sure, but saving $21 Million to take one is a sensible plan.

**Rogue** · 06-23-2013

a good coach has much bigger value than a first round pick imho, but rivers already got bored of coaching boston so it makes sense for both teams. Clippers finally get a good coach while boston receive a 1st rounder in exchange of a black coach whose heart has already flew to LA.

Lol at Doc Rivers/Clippers being a bigger story than Miami winning. Lol.

**spurraider21** · 06-23-2013

my raiders traded head coach John Gruden for TWO first round picks, and it was one of the worst deals we made in recent memory... along with drafting Russell, signing Javon Walker, Deangelo Hall, trading a first rounder for richard seymour, a first and 2nd for carson palmer, etc.

Yep. And then when Tampa Bay made the Superbowl, I knew the Raiders had no chance.

I really wish I could root for the Clippers...So much potential, especially with Rivers as their new coach. Unfortunately, I can't.

**Clipper Nation** · 06-23-2013

So in a desperate attempt at validation, you quote a few bafoons from LG? Unless there are injuries to key players in contending WC teams, the Clipps will be 2014 2nd round fodder at best. Per par I might add even if UBUNTU! signs with you guys and he can't pry Thibbs from Chi-town.

n, you're sounding real salty right now.... enjoy another year of Pringles

**HarlemHeat37** · 06-23-2013

Wow, I never knew Laker fans hated Magic so much, tbh

..

A lot of vitriol in that thread..puzzling behaviour from a fanbase towards the best player in their history, especially when he's simply stating the truth

..

I think they're taking it harder than we took Game 6.

Name the in' place Kobesground already.

K - not even salty son. Just stating the obvious. Before Thibbs, Doc was a coach. With him he was 1-1 in the Finals. When Thibbs left him he was a coach again:

2010-2011 (56-26), 2nd round KO
2011-2012 (39-27), ass kicked in ECF
2012-2013 (41-40), 1st round ass reaming

"3rd best coach in the league!"

This one has potential. Admittedly I haven't contributed to it yet. Thoughts?

Game 6 is up there for sure. Odds say a team in that position wins the game 98.5 percent of the time. And given it was a closeout game, amplifies its infamy. Nowhere near the greatest sports choke of all-time, since all the greatest chokes are in baseball, but it's top 5 for basketball.

I disagree with them saying Leonard choked. You go 9-14 for 22 points and 11 boards in a closeout Finals game, you ain't a choker. Manu and Popovich are 95% responsible for what happened.

Game 6 represents the biggest failure in sports history. 13-point lead. HOF coach. 3-HOF players with a decade of experience playing together. Close out game. Couldn't finish.

True or False? You already know what I think.

False. But I realize you're trying to get me back for calling the Lakers the biggest failure in sports history.

So carry on, I guess.

I guarantee you that det Game 6 loss hurts millions of Spur Fans more than the 2013 Lakers' trainwreck of a season. Golden Opportunity. Wasted.

Then Duncan missed a 5-foot bunny in game 7. was Kwameesque. It will up his head worst than Stack5 did.

Manu played a major role in the only blemish on your Finals resume too. He may end up retiring after those games 6&7 game changing gaffes.

TP may be susceptible to hammie tears the rest of his career. This will negate his speed advantage in a major way. Maybe not, but it will be on his mind. We know he doesn't do well with injuries.

Your big 3 were thisclose to getting it done. This may be the end of the Spurs as we know it.
