 Rivers, the son of former Celtics coach Doc Rivers, was the 10th
overall pick in the 2012 draft, is expected to be dealt before he
ever plays in Boston, according to Yahoo Sports.
A trade call with the teams and the NBA was set for Monday.
Austin Rivers could be dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers, where his
father is head coach and team president.
The Pelicans apparently were recruited to join the trade by the
Celtics and Memphis by sending Rivers to Boston and taking guard
Quincy Pondexter from the Grizzlies.
The Celtics agreed to send Green, a forward, to the Grizzlies for
forward Tayshaun Prince's $7.7 million expiring contract and a
future first-round pick.
The Pelicans also will send point guard Russ Smith to Memphis and
receive a future second-round pick from the Grizzlies.
