BOSTON -- A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Boston Celtics and coach Doc Rivers are working on a deal that would keep him on their bench for multiple years.

The deal is for "more than two or three years," the person told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the details were still being worked out.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge did not immediately return calls or emails seeking comment, though he did say on the radio Thursday that the sides were working on a long-term deal. Neither Rivers nor his agent, Lonnie Cooper, responded to messages seeking comment.

But Rivers told players after being eliminated from the playoffs on Wednesday night that he would return. And, the AP has learned, it's not just for one last run at a title with the Big Three.

WOW, I really hope they get this deal done, this would be huge for our future going forward post big three. Doc has a fantastic reputation with players around the league, and he's a hell of a coach.

Interesting. I wonder why he has chosen to go long-term with this.

Well, I think he always wanted to come back to Boston at some point. Maybe he decided It would hamper to rebuilding process to much to take the time off.

That would be some good news if that's true.  I would love to see Doc stick around for a while, and not have to deal with the yearly toying with retirement.  

I think that if he does sign a long term deal, it's a good sign that they aren't planning on moving Rondo.
