닥 리버스 "CP3의 이적에 대해 그가 다른 팀메이트와 사이가 틀어져서라는 이야기가 있는데.."

Doc Rivers spoke to the media and commented on the trade. He spoke at length about why Paul left, his relationship with Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Austin Rivers. He defended his players saying that Paul left to go play with Harden because he wanted to. This was most likely in response to reports Wednesday that Paul left due to issues with teammates and the coaching staff. “At the end of the day, when you lose a CP, it’s a big loss. I thank him for the years he was here. He left because he wanted to be with James Harden. Let’s not get that twisted. I wish him well. I have no problem with that. Do I disagree? Yeah, I think he would have been better served here. But that’s not for me. That’s CP to decide and he decided against that.We’ve heard all the stories about Blake and DJ and Austin. I can’t comment just on Austin because it’s just not right. We’ve heard he left because of all three today. He left because of DJ, he left because of Blake and now he left because of Austin. We know he didn’t leave because of that. There is a lot of speculation on why he left. The one thing I know is he didn’t leave because of any of those three guys. He left because he felt like he would have a better chance to win somewhere else.”

"그가 조던, 그리핀, 오스틴때문에 떠났다는 이야기를 많이 듣는다. 오스틴에 대해 내가 코멘트하는 건 옳지 않아보이기에 할 수 없다. 하지만 우리는 CP3는 그 3명과의 관계때문에 떠난 게 아니란 걸 안다. 우리는 그가 그저 우승에 더 근접한 팀을 찾아 갔다는 걸 안다."

"CP3가 이적한 것은 정말 큰 손실이다. 지금까지 여기에서 그가 한 행동들에 큰 감사를 보낸다."
