Celtics To Acquire Two Expiring Contracts, 2nd Round Picks For Austin Rivers

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Boston Celtics will trade Austin Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers for a second round pick.

The Celtics must wait to complete the trade until they clear roster space for two expiring contracts.

Rivers will play for his father, Doc Rivers, with the Clippers.

I honestly believe this makes the Clippers worse.

[Jeff Van Gully]

awwww. how cute. going to play for daddy.

Was this the missing piece the Clippers desperately needed?

[DogWhistle]

Yeah, this is a bad move. He peaked with that buzzer-beater against the Tar Heels. No good in the NBA, with Daddy's help or not.

[RoyalMajesty]

I'm assuming the two expiring contracts will be Chris Douglas-Roberts and Ekpe Udoh?

[LaRance]

Austin will be fine. He's no super star but he can be a solid contributor off the bench
