Clippers re-engage in talks with Celtics
Sounds like Chris Paul gave the Clippers a little nudge and told them to go get the deal done.

The long silence is coming to an end. According to Steve Bulpett's "league source," Doc Rivers will finally face the music and the press for the first time tomorrow.
Doc Rivers is coming back until he says he isn't. The trade sending him to the Clippers is dead until it isn't. But if it is off, then what?
You be the judge if this is real or another posturing move by the Clippers and Celtics.
The latest update is that the Celtics are willing to cave on the demand to dump salary on the Clippers and will instead take a second future first round pick.
We don't know what the details of the deal are, here's a brief look ahead at what the Celtics might look like next year without KG, Pierce, or Doc.
Which once again leaves both teams trying to play the "I could just walk away" card. Despite the fact that both teams are so far into this that walking away would be hard.
What could we be getting with DeAndre Jordan? A mixed bag of potential.
Looks like the Celtics might have been the first to blink.
If the Celtics and Clippers cannot work something out between the two parties, another option might be to try to make this complex deal even more complicated. Like for instance, by including a third team into the mix.
Even if the trade doesn't go through, we might not see Doc Rivers back on the sidelines for Boston next year.
We've had time for the posturing to set in. Who blinks first and what comes next?
According to several reports, the trade talks have apparently "stalled." The Clippers think that the Celtics are asking for too much.
Is the deal off? Or are the Clippers just trying to gain some leverage?
This is getting serious folks. Steve Bulpett and Adrian Wojnarowski both confirm that talks are ongoing and "deep."
Despite all the rumors and contingency plans, Danny Ainge and the Celtics are still hopeful that Doc will ultimately decide to stick around Boston for a while longer.
Here's how a huge deal between the Celtics and Clippers could go down (if both sides were committed to getting it done).
Makes it difficult for teams to pry him away from Celtics without compensation.
Doc STILL has not stated his intentions, but already rumors are breaking out about what could make a move to LA happen.
Oh great, now the Dwightmare is coming to complicate the Doc Indecision.
Doc's dream scenario, coaching KG to title with Clippers
So apparently Danny Ainge does have some backup plans to Doc Rivers leaving. Though they may not be the plans that we would all hope for.
I have Doc rumor fatigue. Yet, what else can we even speak about right now? Everything hinges on this. I don't think it is even possible for me to overstate the importance here.
Welp. Still nothing official, but sounding more and more like he's leaning another way.
The Indecision continues.
