if Clips didnt hire Rivers
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/31/rumor-chris-paul-threatened-to-sign-with-rockets-if-clips-didnt-hire-rivers/To Chris Paul, who basically told the Clippers that after they squashed the first incarnation of their Doc Rivers trade. Chris didnt like that. He let them know he was heading to Houston to team up with Dwight. And he wasnt kidding. For about 36 hours, Morey probably felt like all 11 guys in Oceans Eleven. You know what happened next: The Clippers blinked, the Doc trade got revived and finished, and the Clippers were offering Chris 107 million reasons to play for him. Crisis averted. The lesson, as always: Chris Paul runs the Clippers.
