Doc Rivers denied a reported rift between Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan and believes they, along with Blake Griffin, understand their individual importance toward winning.

"I can put this to rest: They get along great," Rivers said on The Beast 980. "Clearly, like everybody, they don't get along all the time, and they don't get along with me all the time, either, by the way. I don't see that as an issue. I think all three, and I'm including Blake in this as well, understand how important the other guy is to them. Meaning, they all three need each other to win, and I think all three get that and all three know that and all three want to do it together. To me, that's the most important thing."

Rivers has already said the Clippers will offer Jordan a max contract of five years for $108.7 million.
