Arash Markski of ESPN.com had this to say about the move.

Austin Rivers re-signing with the Clippers mathematically eliminates the Clippers’ “Big 4” pitch to Kevin Durant.

Rivers at just 24-years-old has a bright future in front of him. Playing and learning behind superstar Chris Paul will only help the guard going forward.

Yes, there were plenty of jokes about Austin staying in Los Angeles with his Dad Doc Rivers. Amin Elhassan had this:

Funniest thing I saw tonight was “Austin Rivers, Clippers, come to agreement on 3 year, $35 million allowance. “

Although the Clippers look to have missed on Kevin Durant and Jeff Green they were able to bring back Wesley Johnson and Rivers which is a win in itself.
