Tuesday's Clippers Links: Austin Rivers heading to a big payday?

Clippers’ Austin Rivers might have parlayed courage into a payday: Austin Rivers at some point may actually want to thank Al-Farouq Aminu of the Portland Trail Blazers. It was an errant elbow by Aminu in the second quarter of the Clippers’ season-ending 106-103 Game 6 loss at Portland on Friday that busted up the left eye of Rivers. -- Long Beach Press-Telegram

Clippers' Doc Rivers wants to retain core of team: The Clippers may not need a new motto for next season. "Together We Will" would work again, provided they can stay together. Clippers Coach Doc Rivers, who will largely decide the fate of his roster as the team's president of basketball operations, said Monday he wanted as many of the team's free agents back as possible. -- Los Angeles Times

Doc Rivers: Goal is to re-sign current Clippers, but salary cap increase will make it difficult: In years past, the summer has come with a clear edict for the Clippers. Don’t let Chris Paul leave. Improve the bench. Re-sign DeAndre Jordan. But the upcoming offseason will be different, Coach Doc Rivers said Monday. “I don’t know if we have a No. 1 (priority),” Rivers said. -- The Orange County Register
