Rivers still hasn't decided whether he'll return

[hpantazo]

after what he said last year when he signed his long term extension, he would be a hypocrit to bail out if KG and Pierce don't return

Exactly. Didn't he say something like he wanted to be part of the whole rebuilding process after the big 3 era? He knew what he was getting into when he signed the 5 year deal.

I think he got a Godfather offer to be a president of basketball operations or something. Who just fired their, and lives in a place with elite-level golf courses and nice weather?

makes sense. I can't really blame him then

Interesting, at this point we might as well go for another run, we'll have cap space in 2014-2015 at least.

Does Tanguay count as a "league source"?

Maybe, maybe not

But at this point, its better than the ridiculous twitter rumor that surfaced recently.

My general rule of thumb regarding Tanguay is to take in what he says, and then expect the complete opposite to happen

I'm merging the Doc topics, we don't need a new topic for every article on the situation unless something truly breaking is gleaned.

Sacramento and Denver are the only teams with openings at the top that I can think of.  Seems unlikely to me.

[timobusa]

My only concern is it seems like Doc, is trying to make this a huge deal, like a bigger than the team. For a guy that preaches team first, this is out of character.

It's just a Yes or No question.

Ha.  Unless Doc's really pushing it--and expecting Danny to take Vinny Del Negro back in trade.

[Tr1boy]

no loyalty whatsoever. Before the big three, he got a chance and took the team to nowhere but to the bottom

Now bc pp might not be brought back, kg might retire the guy doesn't believe in the group we have now

Danny should just part with him now.  Since when was a coach bigger than the team??

[Meadowlark_Scal]

It s pretty disgusting and typical of non-leadership here.....He cannot make up his mind...he won't coach unless he gets allstars......give me a BREAK....at some point you realize WHY things were and went the way they did...all the while seeing what popovich did with similar circumstances......leadership, decisive action.....THIS..is NOT leadership.

yeah. And whats more dumb is how Danny and Wyc is sitting in their chairs praying Doc comesback.

You see how popovich has rebuilt his team on the side on top of contending?? Without their big three, i doubt he leaves and finds a way for SA to just keep trucking.

Rivers on the other hand pulls a pierce. If you don't give me an all star cast, i'm out of here. I'm too good for this crap. No offense Jeff Green, Rondo, Bradley

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Look at these guys...Doc would have NEVER played any of them...and you know he would never had played splitter...no way......

Or extreme loyalty to his players and this is all part of his effort to make sure that Danny doesn't treat them in a disrespectful and disloyal manner.

[SHAQATTACK]

Doc Rivers is going to get Danny fired.

Larry Bird , if he was capt. of this sinking ship, would fire Glen and hire Hollins.

Glen and Danny are both in trouble......

Rivers is being a horses hind end ,  if he now thinks he is  a Phil Jackson , I only coach stars , then let him walk .....and don't look back
