The Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics on Tuesday have called off a blockbuster deal that centered around Coach Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett coming to Los Angeles, The Times has learned.

The final sticking point that stopped the deal was Boston president of basketball operations Danny Ainge insisting that Clippers vice president of basketball operations Gary Sacks give the Celtics two No. 1 draft picks along with DeAndre Jordan, said league officials who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Sacks was prepared to trade Jordan and one No. 1 pick for the rights to negotiate with Rivers and to acquire Garnett, but refused to add another first-round pick, the executives said.

The Clippers and Celtics started talks again early Tuesday morning, knowing that Eric Bledsoe wasn't going to be in the deal, but were still unable to make a connection.

The Clippers now move on to having more conversations with Byron Scott and Brian Shaw, the executives said.

Scott, who interviewed for the Clippers' head coaching vacancy last week, was scheduled to meet Tuesday for the first time with owner Donald Sterling, the executives said.

Scott, who coached Chris Paul when both were with the Hornets, is the ex-coach of the Cavaliers, Hornets and Nets.

Shaw, the associate head coach of the Indiana Pacers, also interviewed with the Clippers last week. Shaw, who was in Denver on Tuesday interviewing for the Nuggets' job, will meet with Sterling today, the executives said.

Former Grizzlies Coach Lionel Hollins, who will interview today for Denver's job, remains in the mix with the Clippers, who hope to name a coach this week to replace Vinny Del Negro.
