Los Angeles Clippers And Boston Celtics Trade Talks Back On

The Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics reopened trade talks Wednesday and have quickly made progress toward separate transactions that ultimately would send both Celtics star forward Kevin Garnett and coach Doc Rivers to Los Angeles, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Clippers, despite taking another break from the discussions Wednesday night so owner Donald Sterling could meet face-to-face with Rivers' fellow coaching candidate Brian Shaw, have relented on their previous unwillingness to surrender only one first-round pick to the Celtics to convince Boston to let Rivers out of the final three years, $21 million on his coaching contract.

After meeting with Shaw, the Clippers' front office met separately with Sterling to review all of the candidates and options, sources told ESPN.

Kinda thought they would go back to the table, both sides seem eager to make a deal.

 

If this deal gets done, don't be surprised if the C's buy out PP's contract so he can sign with the Clips. The Clips can't trade for him and KG due to salary, so expect a buyout

I've heard Chris park is driving this whole thing.

 

Well no sh!t. LAC is going to do whatever CP3 says so that he resigns

That could make them a pretty nice team on paper

 

Who in the FREAK is Chris Park?

 

Deal on again, deal off again. Ahhhh, whos keeping track?

 

Freaking Swype. Paul.

 

i heard the league is not going to allow it. not sure why they wouldn't though.

 

The trade isn't going to happen. LAC is going to hire Brian Shaw or Byron Scott. It will be interesting to see how strained the relationship between KG/Doc and Ainge is

 

Apparently they just like freaking with Chris Park. Remember they blocked his trade to the other LA team last year, now blocking him from playing with and being coached by talent.

 

Yes?
