Former NBA player Matt Barnes, who was part of the Lob City era Clippers for three seasons, says that the team was broken by head coach Doc Rivers after he signed his son Austin to a lucrative contract.
Austin Rivers, who averaged between 7 and 9 points per game for the Clippers since joining the team via a trade from the Boston Celtics in 2015, was given a 3-year, $35.5 million in the summer of 2016.
