    The NBA has approved the Los Angeles Clippers’ acquisition of coach Doc Rivers in a deal with the Boston Celtics, a league source confirmed to ESPNBoston.com’s Jackie MacMullan.

    The league’s approval, according to the source, means that the official announcement of the deal currently is in the hands of the two teams.

    Sources confirmed on Sunday that the Clippers will sign Rivers to a three-year contract worth $21 million. The Celtics, who agreed to release Rivers from the remaining three years and $21 million remaining on his current contract, will receive a 2015 first-round draft pick as compensation in the deal.

    League and teams sources also confirmed that any deal presently involving Kevin Garnett and the Clippers is on hold in light of NBA commissioner David Stern’s objections to the appearance that the trade was related to the deal involving Rivers.

    One source with knowledge of the NBA’s thinking told ESPN.com that the league does not intend to change its stance as expressed by Stern in multiple radio interviews Thursday, meaning that the league would view any subsequent trade agreement between the Celtics and Clippers involving Garnett to be part of the Rivers deal and thus in violation of league rules.

    So looks like the Clippers can’t get Garnett at all. That kind of sucks for KG, I guess at this point he either gets bought out or retires.

    I hate David Stern and his fake ass smile he gives to the press.

    I don’t get how KG being traded to the Clips would be in violation. The Thunder should try to get KG. He can get them 15 to 20 ppg from the mid range and post, which they desperately needed last season.
