NFT: Doc Rivers dumb quote

“I want to fix it,” Rivers told USA TODAY Sports. “I want to win. That’s why I came here. I knew when I came here that roster-wise it was going to be very difficult. The first thing I did before I took this job, I looked at the roster and we laughed. I was like, ‘What the (expletive) can we do with this?’ It was more the contracts. But we have to try to do it somehow. I don’t know how yet, but something will work out.”



The team he inherited had Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford and was coming off a 56 win season.
Yeah gimme a break...

"what the **** can we do with this" I mean i only have on of if not the best PG on the planet a top PF and a damn good center who cant shoot free throws. I mean he says its about contracts but not sure what he is referring to, outside of Paul/Griffin they dont really have long term contracts. I guess the Redick deal isnt great, but its not horrible.

Just imagine what he would have said if he inherited the knicks....
He's crazy

and they're losing their first rounder because they brought him in. That's not going to help a team with bench issues. This year was their best shot and they blew it. They probably lose Jordan too, I'm not sure if they want to match a max contract for him. I think they'll be at the cap if they do so they can't add anything else unless they get creative.
How  
DanMetroMan : 5/18/2015 11:06 am : link
many jobs in the NBA were/are better than the one he inherited in LA>?
Jordan will get the max...  
Italianju : 5/18/2015 11:10 am : link
and in todays NBA he deserves it. He never misses games, shot 70+ from the field, and led the league in rebounding and was 4th in blocked shots. He isnt a guy that you can put on a bad team and expect to carry you, but considering the average players that get near max money he deserves it. If im LAC i max him out and take my chances with him, paul and griffin.

did an article on how bad he screwed up the Clips. Said instead of getting a viable PF, he went and got Spencer Hawes.
lol

Jordan off the Knicks wishlist:( BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What a fucking joke comment

Even the comment about the xcontracts is a joke  
Matt M. : 5/18/2015 12:03 pm : link
As mentioned, he inherited a 56 win team with a talent laden roster. He was brought in to try to win right away, so the salary cap and future contracts mean very little.
Clippers  
DanMetroMan : 5/18/2015 12:04 pm : link
to offer him 5 years 108.7
if ur the clips you pretty much...  
Italianju : 5/18/2015 12:06 pm : link
have to max him out. You cant lose him for nothing. Plus with the salary cap bump next year it really wont even be a bad contract for him.
I could see CP3 leaving after next year  
nygiants16 : 5/18/2015 12:42 pm : link
if they do not win a title and the Clips building around Griffin and Jordan...

He will be a free agent, maybe he goes to an eastern team for an easier road...

I actually could see a couple of big names going from West to East...

Sources: DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul have had falling out throughout season, a fact that could push Jordan to another team in free agency.
I guess we will find out  
nygiants16 : 5/18/2015 1:39 pm : link
how much pull CP3 has with Rivers and the Clippers...

Okafor  
DanMetroMan : 5/18/2015 2:01 pm : link
sure sounds like a sexier pick next to DeAndre Jordan... just saying!
Jordan also plays  
nygiants16 : 5/18/2015 2:23 pm : link
liek the exact player jackson has been talking about getting for teh Center position...

Plus Jordan is still very young..

Okafor and Jordan makes up a very very young front court with a ton of potential...

BUT the problem is going to be spacing unless Okafor could develop a mid range like Griffin did...
After that there is really no  
MotownGIANTS : 5/18/2015 3:04 pm : link
depth .... People can say what they what about Ainge but once he is done he has a versatile and complete roster...
The story on DeAndre Jordan, according to charles barkley  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/18/2015 3:07 pm : link
"If you left Jordan in the gym overnight and told him to score as much as you can without dunking, if you came back in the morning, he'd have 5 points."
Okafor and Jordan?????
