League rules not only prohibit coaches from being formally "traded" but likewise prevent teams from making any trade or free-agent signing with contingencies or side deals attached. So it is incumbent on the Celtics and Clippers to convince the league office that these transactions would be made independently.

One source with knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com on Thursday that the Celtics and Clippers have been negotiating for days knowing that league rules could well prohibit the transactions from going through.

If this trade happens and CP3 is more likely to stay in LA...I hope Ferry trades up in the draft for McLemore, Burke or Lin.

I think alot of people on here don't know what the collective bargaining agreement is.

I don't follow. Does the collective bargaining agreement prevent us from trading into the top ten of the draft?

Unless we are giving up Horford then I don't see a way that is possible.

Yeah, it'd probably only happen if one of those three falls drastically...to 8 or 9 in the draft.
The way Drummond fell last year.

NBA will has stated that it would block any Rivers trade to the Clippers. Doesn't look like this deal is gonna happen.

I never expected Chris Paul to leave LA.

I've been as skeptical as anyone. But the signs are there. Still a long shot, but the door is open.

Paul is unhappy that the Los Angeles Clippers have been unable to execute a deal to hire Doc Rivers as head coach.

The Clippers backed out of talks with the Boston Celtics due to their unwillingness to part with a first round pick.

Paul was privately pushing for Rivers to come to the Clippers.

And Donald Sterling is still the worst owner in sports...

I stand corrected. Rivers has been traded to LAC. CP3 will stay. Howard goes to Houston.

Atlanta will have to settle for 2nd tier free agents and a legitimate rebuild. Here's hoping we trade up for Burke or KCP.

We still have a chance to SNT Smith to HOU for Asik...

As far as i understand, Stern said that you cannot trade a coach and doesn't allow loop holes

Sounds like David Stern doesn't know what the collective bargaining agreement is...
