Will Doc Rivers Bolt From Boston?
What's the deal with Doc Rivers? Is he planning his Boston exit strategy? Does he want some time away from coaching? Maybe coach another team? Perhaps he doesn't like the Danny Ainge re-build plan?
Here's what we do know. Doc has got a contract for another three years worth $21 million. He says he is in detox mode and will let everyone know soon as to his future. The Celtics season ended five weeks ago. Hmmm.
The question I have is this - if you are a free agent player, do you want to come to Boston to play for Doc or are you wondering how long he'll be your coach.
On the other hand, if your Doc Rivers, take a look at the roster below...subtract Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Would you want to coach this team?
