shite. Why didn't Demps just send Rivers to LAC for Bullock?


Because nice guys finish last. Demps has always looked more for win win trades than fleece another GM trade. Based on not being able to dump Rivers last year and the Pels having to insist Rivers go in this trade, I don't think there was a team in the league that actually wanted Rivers. Ainge probably called up Doc and said "I'm going to cut Austin and he'll be out of the league unless you trade me for him." With Monty and Doc being IRL BFFs that talk regularly, that could get a bit awkward if we did it.

Is Doc really going full retard? I'll believe this trade when it actually happens.
