Wasn't actually their fault..... he was a restricted free agent and the Warriors gave him that outrageous offer sheet.... the Clippers had to match because it was either him or a scrub like Kwame Brown, tbh....

Clippers still aren't getting out of west, so it's a non-factor tbh.
Brad Turner @BA_Turner The Clippers have called off the deal with the Celtics. Clippers executive said Celtics asking for too much, the Times told today.

Clippers refused to give in the Boston's request for 2 first round draft picks, sources.
Clippers
Mark Heisler and Zach Lowe reporting that they're just posturing, tbh....
Brad Turner @BA_Turner about 5 minutes ago
Clippers moving forward with Byron Scott meeting owner Donald Sterling today and Brian Shaw will meet Sterling Wednesday.
ZachLowe_NBA: Don't doubt anyone's reporting on Doc/KG, but do doubt the talks are really dead. Stalled, yes. Dead, no. Dead till they're alive again.
Not like either of these teams is making it out of the first round any time soon anyway.

Sources confirm: Talks between Boston and Clippers have failed to result in a deal. Clippers moving on.
Dan Woike @DanWoikeSports now
Again: Clippers source reiterates team is definitely not trading Blake Griffin.

If #Celtics-Clips are over, here's why: Ainge played hardball over small issues. Donald won't be dictated too, pulled plug. #ThatsMyBigGuy
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne Clips and Celtics spoke again this morning. It didnt go well.

Clippers won't give up 2 1st-rounders and Jordan for Doc, KG. Talks done. Celts wondering what Doc wants to do now.
Mark Heisler @MarkHeisler 1 minute ago
Deal was #Celtics' only alternative, gift for #Clippers. I'd be 100% it has to happen--if Donald Sterling wasn't involved.
That'd mean the Lakers would be fudged again by the Clips
Clippers are the worst franchise in the NBA. No one is even close. Not even the Lolcats.
Mark Heisler @MarkHeisler 3 minutes ago
Donald Sterling has screwed up worse but never w/these consequences… What will pro-Doc, FA-to-be CP3 think if Clips turn down #Celtic gift?
Dan Woike @DanWoikeSports 2 minutes ago
#Clippers felt good about alternatives to not doing deal: keeping DeAndre Jordan and hiring either Scott, Shaw or Hollins.
I like Bill Simmons and Ryan Russilo's arguments the other day, they were saying Doc Rivers is acting the same way Kobe acted in '07, where he wants to leave the team but doesn't want the Clippers to give up too much(Bledsoe)..
Boston giving up 2 picks is asinine, tbh..I understand they would save a little money by moving Rivers, but having Jordan on your team at 11-12 mil a year isn't a privilege..he's a ty player with overrated upside..
Doc Rivers is the most overrated person involved in the NBA that I've ever seen, tbh..average X's and O's guy and average system, nothing special, great motivator, yet the media actually believes he's a coach that can alter the fortunes of your team
Clippers should accept the deal for 1 pick, they don't even need 2, tbh, moving Jordan and his ty contract is addition by subtraction, let alone getting KG and a pick, too..

This could still be posturing, but I was told for the first time during this process that talks are "really dead."

If LAC is willing to gamble and wait until July 1, there's reason to believe same pieces from BOS could be available.
Brad Turner @BA_Turner 2 minutes ago
Yes, folks, the deal is "dead, dead, dead." No Doc, KG to Clippers
Baxter Holmes @BaxterHolmes 1 minute ago
Danny Ainge confirms to the @BostonGlobe that the proposed Clippers-Celtics deal is, in fact, dead.
Ken Berger @KBergCBS 3 minutes ago
The Clippers informed the Celtics today they are pulling out of the Rivers-Garnett trade talks. "It just got to be too much," source said.
A. Sherrod Blakely @SherrodbCSN now
In what may go down as the most EPIC cheapskate move by the #Clippers, trade w/#Celtics dead for now because they won't give a 2nd 1Rd pick.
