Doc Rivers was asked how he would evaluate the roster moves he has made as president of the Los Angeles Clippers.

“I don’t know. I don’t evaluate," said Rivers. "I have too many people evaluating for me. I let them do it and I keep doing my job. I don’t care about the evaluations. I care about the team. We’re a team that doesn’t have a lot of leverage. We don’t have a lot of assets. But to me, we keep ending up with the Jeff Greens of the world, Cole Aldrich is terrific, Wes Johnson. … We’re getting these guys at minimum contracts.

“Even Josh [Smith] was a good gamble. It didn’t work out for us. But when you are in that minimum contract deal, you’re going to have some hits and misses and we’re fine with it and you keep doing it.”

Rivers was also asked about how he would describe his relationship with Steve Ballmer.

“He’s been phenomenal. He’s so supportive. Wants to win, like we all do. Involved, but lets us do our job. He is a great spirit to have in our organization and he’s the smartest man in the room every time he walks in the room. I just listen to him. I love his business.”

Doc Rivers was asked what kept the Los Angeles Clippers from trading away Blake Griffin at the deadline.

“I love him. He’s a good player," said Rivers. "He was only having an MVP year before he got injured. I laugh at some of the stuff about moving him. I’ve said from Day One he is not going anywhere. Of course, every team should call. That’s their job. That doesn’t mean we have to listen and we didn’t.”

Rivers was also asked if the Clippers received a lot of inquiries on Griffin.

“There was some, but not a lot because we shot them down so quickly. Reading about some of these crazy rumors in the paper was comical to us. …

“You can take the call, but you don’t have to listen. We like our team. We’re in the job of trying to make our team better, but we like our team.”

The Los Angeles Clippers discussed a trade of CJ Wilcox in multiple scenarios.

The Clippers held talks with the Orlando Magic on Wilcox by offering Shabazz Napier.

The Clippers also discussed a Wilcox for Tony Snell deal that would have also cost Doc Rivers a second round pick.

“I think he can shoot. I think he can play. He has a lot of guys in front of him,” Rivers said, “… but, I still think he can really play. He’s a great kid, a high-character kid. He works hard at it.

“And I think that’s a kid that you hang on to.”

The Los Angeles Clippers will consider pursuing Lance Stephenson in free agency if the Memphis Grizzlies decline their team option on his deal.

Stephenson was traded at the deadline with a first round pick for Jeff Green.

The Clippers insisted Stephenson wasn't a problem this season behind the scenes.

Stephenson never quite found his fit with the Clippers though he did spend time as a small ball power forward.

Teams cannot reacquire a player they traded away during that season and cannot re-sign with his original team until the one-year anniversary of the trade if he's waived, or until July 1st following the end of his contract, whichever comes first. If Stephenson becomes a free agent this offseason, he can sign with the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers have traded Lance Stephenson and a future first round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for Jeff Green. The future first round pick is for 2019 and is lottery protected.

Doc Rivers previously coached Jeff Green with the Boston Celtics.

Stephenson was acquired by the Clippers from the Charlotte Hornets last offseason.

Adrian Wojnarowski reports Dave Joerger and the Grizzlies' players don't want Stephenson waived.

The Los Angeles Clippers plan to sign Alex Stepheson to a 10-day contract.

Stepheson currently leads the D-League in rebounding.

The Los Angeles Clippers remain unwilling to commit to a deal with the Orlando Magic on Channing Frye.

Lance Stephenson would go to the Magic as part of the discussed trade.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are also interested in Frye, who has two more seasons remaining on his deal.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered Anderson Varejao to the Orlando Magic in return for Channing Frye.

Frye would give the Cavaliers another big capable of stretching the floor.

The Magic have also been in talks with the Los Angeles Clippers on a Frye trade.

Sam Amick reports the Magic don't plan on accepting the Cavaliers' offer of Varejao for Frye.

Despite reports of the Los Angeles Clippers entertaining trade offers for Blake Griffin ahead of the trade deadline, Doc Rivers said Griffin won't be dealt.

"We're not trading Blake," said Rivers.

"I’ve told you we’re not trading Blake, but I guess everyone else wants to keep doing that so we’ll let them do it."

Griffin is recovering from a broken right hand.

According to a report from Zach Lowe of ESPN, the Clippers are more likely to trade Griffin in the offseason.

The Los Angeles Clippers no longer consider Blake Griffin untouchable and are listening to trade offers.

The Clippers, however, are still likely to wait until the offseason to deal away Griffin if they do so at all. If Kevin Durant decides he'd like to play for the Clippers, they would need Griffin as part of a sign-and-trade.

But if the Clippers receive word before the deadline that they're out of contention for Durant, they could accelerate their trade timetable.

Griffin remains out with a broken hand and Doc Rivers would like to give his core one more postseason chance.
