Jamal Crawford's name has appeared in trade rumors throughout the offseason, but Doc Rivers said he intends to keep him.

"I've heard all the rumors about Jamal going other places," Rivers said. "Jamal's a Clipper and I would be very surprised if he's not a Clipper by the season's end."

Fred Roggin of The Beast 980 asked him again: "You're planning on keeping him right now?"

"Yeah," Rivers responded. "Yeah. Absolutely."
