Austin Rivers isn’t safe from trade talks either

There is no exception from Doc Rivers when it comes to trading players.

Doc said he is willing to trade anyone if he thinks it would benefit the team. This explains why Austin has been doing well in Chris Paul’s absence.

He has his own style of play with similarities to Paul.

Also, he could be traded when Paul is back, if Lob City is looking to contend for a title now rather than later.

Recently he has been helpful for the team and in the playoffs last year when Paul injured his finger. Rivers is able to produce double-doubles in points and assists.

Also, he has the length to once in awhile snag a few rebounds and earn a triple-double.

Additionally, he is an assist machine similar to Paul and if traded the Clippers should look for a big man.
