The. Jig. Is. Up. (for those who are unaware, jig = a ruse or trick that has been discovered, via Urban Dictionary).
I guess you can call the Austin Rivers trade the straw that broke the camels back, but the internet has reached a breaking point with Doc Rivers the decision maker, the general manager.
Truth be told, the signs have shone through for some time, but as the Clippers’ biggest weaknesses expand, more eyes are focused in on the situation to see a contending team hindered by the general mangers inability to build around it’s core group.
It’s quite unfortunate as the prime years of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are being wasted because of managerial incompetence — as Rivers makes one mistake, he’s hastily making another to fix a previous one.
It’s bad basketball inception and we’ve decided to list Doc’s five worst decisions since becoming the general manager of the Clippers in the summer of 2013.
Enjoy (or not)!
