well we're getting something in return for doc

[WeMadeIt17]

I'd say no. I think this has gone to far. If he came back to Boston this would be a huge distraction. All the questions he and Danny would get at training camp. Along with the team getting questions. Clippers give it up! Give us Eric and DJ with 2 picks and we'll give you the Coach that gets you your ticket to contending back and two vets that could guide you to the WCF.

I think we are going to struggle to make the playoffs next year no matter what we do... but I'd prefer to hang onto KG and Doc.  The culture of this team hasn't been an issue.  I'd love for it to transition into the next generation.  Unfortunately, we don't really have any elite prospects on this team that are worthy of carrying this team into the future.  It's a tough position, but I'd let Doc coach as long as he wanted and let KG be a part of this franchise until he dies.

Yup

Sure. It's basketball, it's not like he ran over my dog.

[Celtics18]

Yup

Another yup.

I'm curious to hear why people wouldn't want him back.

Based on the context of this post, I'm guessing people who want him gone think he's betrayed the Celtics.  Is that right?

Doc should be on the"CHEATERS".  show.

He wants to not only leave, which he is still married to the Celtics,  but he wants to STEAl and take KG from us an d at the same time wants to leverage the deal heavy in favor of the Clippers..........otherwise stack the deck in his favor as the new Madonna coach of the NBA

So , first he lies nd says ...boo hoo I'm tired an need a break,  that's hogwash, ........he wants to STAb the Celtics in the back,  take our players with him,  and make sure we get th least amount back..........

Doc Rivers Should Never be allowed to return to the Celtics organization,  he blows off his good word , lies about wanting to coach the Celtics though a rebuild period,  sneaks behind our backs to work deals with the enemy to secure his fame and leave us high and dry while raping us of Our best player.

The whole thing really stinks.    It leaves a bad taste in my mouth .

Rivers has shown himself to be a classless act., with his trifling business, he has drove the stake deep into the Celtics team and fans and deserves nothing in return

I don't think he can trusted or should be part of the Celtics team.  ...ever again

Love the hyperbole. A (and a TP) for Effort.

Don't buy a line of it, though.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Doc has morphed into Phil Jackson before our very eyes. Ridiculous.

I don't see how he can come back now. I'd think that lots of Boston's players wouldn't want to play for a guy who'd prefer to be somewhere else.

If Doc is trying to force Celts into signing Paul/Keep KG I like it.  If Doc wants to coach the Clippers because he wants a change that goes against my sense of loyalty.

this is the mess i don't get
if the GM has a way to go, then let it go that way
if u disagree, sure, but stop being a manipulative prick to get your way

celtics aren't going to get better if we reload
everyone needs to let it go

[JOMVP]

Surprised that the poll is this close. I say no, vehemently. The guy has made it pretty clear that he hates the roster we have by wanting to move on, so how the heck is he going to motivate these players on the team if he's brought back.

i already feel like this type of thing is ridiculous. u have time on ur contract. all this secrecy and holding off is nothing but a manipulative tactic to get what he wants, not what's best for the organization.

i was with him leaving when people were saying he doesn't want to coach a rebuild but wants to get kg and pp their rings but also wants to make sure the celtics were taken care of. i didnt like it, but i got with it, until i find out the only part of the trade that fell through was because he wants to keep bledsoe a clipper.

so his selfishness is despicable to me. again, he's manipulative. he continues to hold this team hostage for what he wants to do and i partially blame DA for giving him so much power. I want him to get the hell alone and free this organization.

we've held on to a dream for years past our window. when Ray Allen left, everyone else shouldve left and we'd have one year of rebuild under our belt. but instead Doc wants to try to run the same plays and do the same thing. It's ignorant. It's dumb. He's not good. Go. Bye. Be someone elses headache.
