Austin Rivers to the Knicks on a 1 year deal

[magee]

There's no way any front court player touches the ball when he and Dennis Smith Jr. are coming off the bench.

He's not terrible. A poor man's Clarkson.

Poor mans Clarkson is not a compliment.

[Capn'O]

Great trade asset. Hi Doc.

[Pointgod]

Thought he's joining his dad in Philly?

I mean funny as it is, he’d be a really good fit in Philly. They can use guards that can shoot and he can create his own shot too. Surprised because Milwaukee, LA, Brooklyn, there are a couple contenders that he could use his shooting off the bench.

[queridiculo]

Of course he signs with the Knicks.

Ouch.. Clarkson's already a poor man's "something".

[TheNewEra]

Wonder how much they really invest in giving him time with the younger guards to develop

[SecondTake]

People will get their jokes off by default but it's a fine signing. League average from 3 over last 4 seasons on 4+ attempts per game and can handle the ball a bit. I hate the payton signing but i'm fine with this.

It's fine for Knicks. Rivers is a decent player. It's terrible signing for him since he went from contender to the team that has no chance at playoffs.

Too soon to say that, if they sign Westbrook like the rumors suggest they'll be in the mix for the title.

Solid signing on a 1 yr deal, now we have to slowly add pieces longterm

Rivers finally gets an opportunity to put up stats on a bad team

[jimbo7]

I actually like this for the knicks. He is actually a pretty good player and did well during one of the clippers playoff runs. He will definitely put up better numbers if he has the green light to score. I remember during that playoff series, he was scoring really well and had this swagger about him. I thought he was going to blow up but he didn’t. It’s not easy playing for your dad and having teammates and fans saying that the only reason he is still in the nba is because of his dad and he was on his way out.

I think he is going to be starting point guard and will share ball handling duties with rj.

That's a great deal

Well done NY

[Benedict_Boozer]

3 years? Why? It’s cheap but still

[Captain_Obvious]

Great signing. They hope to flip him for a pick at the trade deadline like the Morris signing last year. There is a decent chance this will work IMO, someone will panic at the deadline.

[DaVoiceMaster]

Dang, would have liked him on the Blazers.

3 year $10 million sounds like a great bargain.

[elchengue20]

Hes better than Payton, at least he can stand in the corner and shoot the damn ball.
