Well the Clippers saved their center DeAndre Jordan at the expense of their moral dignity. And to be honest. They deserve each other. I don’t want a player that pulls a stunt like lying to the owner of an NBA team hours before the end of the moratorium. And I don’t want to support a team that goes to such lengths to practically beg a player to come back when they shouldn’t have put themselves in that position in the first place.
But I digress.
With the DeAndre fiasco over, they can focus on other matters such as Austin Rivers who may have finally found his place in the league. The Clips have signed him to a 2-Year, $6.4 Million deal.
The second year of the contract is a player option, sources said. Because New Orleans had previously declined Rivers’ fourth-year option, the most the Clippers could pay him is what his 2015-16 salary would have been if the option had been exercised.
Despite his glimpses of great play during the Playoffs, I still think he came into the league stupid early. Just because you play for on of the best Colleges, does not mean you’re good enough to go to the NBA.
But hey, he’s getting $6.4 Million over 2 years. I’d be lucky to make that in a lifetime.
