IRVINE, Calif. – At one point this summer, head coach Doc Rivers assumed the Clippers would lose out on Josh Smith.
He credits general manager Dave Wohl for making sure that didn’t happen.
“I give Dave credit,” Rivers said. “He didn’t stop. He called every single day, like 21 days in a row. He kept calling, and Josh called Dave and said, ‘I’m coming.’ Then Dave called me. That’s how we got the news. I just think the opportunity, he looked at our team and what we had, and I think that’s what sold him.
