rivers will be very solid one day, if u think otherwise ur absolutely illiterate. hes got one of the best crossovers in the game, he can drive and finish, hes got a better floater then DWade, hes a decent shooter. and lets not forget, hes pretty clutch. his only downside is his on ball defense and his FT shooting, not his work ethic, he works his arse off to get healthy and improve his game. he was injured alot last year, and had a shitty team to work with. AD was injured alot last year and well and they could never work on the court together. he will be our future 6th man unless shopped, which i doubt, as his stock is very average right now. u guys ever heard of kobe? he was just as bad as rivers his rookie season with just as much talent and potential and turned out to be the 2nd best shooting guard in the game. so if u think u can counter me, please do, so i can burn u.

anderson is a rare talent, hes 6'10'' and plays like a shooting guard. he stretches the floor and creates space for others, he will be a huge asset in getting jrue, gordon and or evans or whoever we have to the basket. hes also a great FT shooter. he has an ok post game, can attack the basket occasionally, can faceup and knock down a shot thats contested. hes also a very decent rebounder and a solid passer, best thing is we gave up ayon for him... AYON, ok.

i like it too, its the truth, just because he didnt show it all the time dosent mean its false. just because lebron covers his hairline with a headband dosent mean its not receding. he just needs to work on ball security, if he stays healthy, as a role player he can average 10 points and 3 assists a game which is all we ask out of him.

I just don't really know what evidence you have for any of that.

Rivers is still very young and to think he won't develop is kind of closed minded. As others have mentioned kid has a good work ethic and I think this season will probably drive him to work harder. Not to mention he has a great mentor outside of the pelicans in DOC.
I don't think the plan was ever for him to play this much this year but the Glass man kind of made it necessary. He was not unlike several high school or one and done kids drafted in the top 20 over the last 15 years on their potential to develop down the road.

If we get Evans, Rivers is pretty much a D leaguer next year. Holiday > Gordon/Evans > Vasquez > Rivers. I really don't think he is much cheaper than Vasquez, so he really shouldn't see the court much. A trade very well could change that. It's all about who offers what for who, though. We can dig in our asses for trades all day, but none of us are coaches/owners/GMs, so this debate is only so useful and will always result in people resorting to hyperbole to tear down one of our guys.

Because I have little or no tolerance for dumbass shite. I guarantee you that no one can, at this point, reliably predict that Rivers is a "bust".
The guy has athleticism and has shown a great attitude and work ethic. He came out of Duke too early, no doubt. He should have had another year of experience. But he has a coach who is also a mentor for him. Given patience, there's a very good chance the guy will be a solid player.
Again, NO ONE can predict based upon a 19 year old kid's first season in the league.

Rivers obviously has talent, but his shot also obviously needs work. He needs a lot of coaching and I can't see this young staff trying to drive these young studs having a lot of extra time to reshape his form next year. D League may be good for him.

Other than the fact that I'm correct in this instance, I completely agree with you.

I think these tweets and the BSS tweets are just extrapolated from the fact that certain players attitudes and recent performances make it seem like they would or would not be available. Take it all with a grain of salt. They get money for every click on they're story. Then if ryno is traded, it's a "shock". You probably know more than half of them.
