Austin said on the latest Woj podcast that AD asked him to come back to the pels.

Nah, AD was talking about CP3 but he didn't use proper names, so Austin got to assuming...

I guess the positive spin to this is AD seems pretty loyal to his teammates so maybe that is a positive factor that he might not run the moment his contract is up despite all the mounting reasons he could or should.

No way in frick. Sorry AD, I'm a big fan but even Dell ain't that dumb. Glad you aren't the GM

I'd trade Evans for him just to not see Evans running point in Gentry's offense next year.

Does anyone have the actual quote? Because Rivers was on the podcast a month ago so I figure I'd have heard of this by now

i do too, purely for the reason I can use him playing as an excuse to:

1. say why we lost
2. say why we need to fire headcoach

Tyreke's bad moments were really bad (Christmas, @ Miami) but he was a good player this season overall

Except for all the metrics that show he holds the ball longer than almost all guards, possessions with him lead to fewer passes than most guards, he dribbles more than most guards, and AD being visibly worse with him on the floor.

This offense is not built around one dude lolly gagging around when he feels like it with the ball in his hands. He's not even a Rondo-type or even an Ish Smith PG where he can dribble around and produce results. He doesn't break down defenses to the benefit of others outside of "hockey assists" by collapsing rebounders and allowing ORebs.

Then there's defense...
