KG and Rivers to the Clippers?

Indeed. If this trade shouldn't be happening, then Pat Riley shouldn't have ever gone to the Heat. Basically the same situation and terms.

Doc had a clause in his contract that stated he couldn't coach another team for 5 years if he didn't finish out his contract.

That's a pretty harsh clause.

So, I wonder what's next for KG if he can't join Rivers in Los Angeles? It seems like he was pretty keen on going wherever Rivers did and with his no-trade clause, he's either staying or only going somewhere he absolutely wants to go.

He can come to LA's other team. D'Antoni will have him shooting 3's in no time.

Edit:

Marc Stein: ESPN source says provision DOES include three-team (and more) trades. NO trade exchanging Celtics & Clippers allowed until after next season

I dont understand how a coach can be traded and I feel like keeping it that way. Must be some weird technicality that wont make me feel much wiser to know about it.

Clippers and Celtics probably going to have a third team join the trade for KG and present it to Stern that IT'S A SEPARATE DEAL FROM THE COACH TRADE.

BAM.

It's not a trade, as such. It's more a matter of resigning their position to take another job, with their current team getting some compensation for agreeing to void their contract and waive any non-compete clauses.

The Celtics letting Rivers out of his contract, the Clippers signing him to be their head coach and trading a pick to the Celtics are technically three different deals/transactions, but all part of the same agreement/negotiations.
