History: It’s fun to think about how far removed we are from the Austin Rivers of a little over a year-and-a-half ago.
Not only did this current, productive Austin Rivers have a beef with Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets, but he was struggling to find himself on a team. In 2018, Rivers was traded by his father in the summer, traded by the Washingston Wizards in the winter, subsequently cut by the Phoenix Suns the very next day, and flew under the radar enough to get signed by his nemesis.
