JUNE 27: RIVERS FOR GORTAT
Los Angeles Clippers get: Marcin Gortat.
Washington Wizards get: Austin Rivers
Source: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Analysis: Considering Doc Rivers is the head coach of the Clippers, it was tough to imagine them dealing his son, Austin. Alas, that’s exactly what they’ve done, and it’s for a centre; shifting the conversation to DeAndre Jordan. Jordan can opt out of the last year of contract, but is the addition of a starting calibre centre like Gortat a sign that the Clippers believe they’re about to lose their big-man?
