When we signed Doc to the highest-paid coaching contract in the NBA a couple years ago, we knew the ages of our players and we knew that we would be at a phase - maybe last year, maybe this year, maybe next year - that a time to rebuild would be in store. We talked about that. At that time before it hit him, he was all on board. I thought I did a very good sales job on Doc, at that time. Maybe he did a sales job on me (chuckle).
"I was asking for two picks for myself. They weren't going to do that, so we stuck with one for Doc (chuckle).
Water under the bridge but for all ya'll that thought Doc was trying to help the Celts you can go eat a sandwich now. Made no sense because it simply wasn't true. Looks like (just my opinion) Danny was blindsided and he said he wanted 2 picks not 1 but took 1 for Doc

Doc was wanting to keep his W/L on the up swing and not the down. That's understandable but he shoulda talked with Bostons media before L.A.'s Say goodbye and then say hello.Anyway...Danny apparently was not "in" on any of this besides trying to get what he could from it which is his job.

I took it like that at least. Lol

Now put 2 and 2 together.
I had never seen Danny sound like that. He looked like he had lost his best friend. His razzing on the reporters in such an awkward, forced way seemed like an attempt at gallows humor.That Doc expressed an interest in exploring his options as far back as May 8th--and Danny felt a need to send him a letter the next day--suggests that he's been dealing with this for a while. Yet, he looked and sounded like he was in shock still about it.I hope it doesn't lead to any bad decisions. (Hint: a whopper of a contract for Josh Smith)
ok so you hate doc. you want people to hate him,good for you. you happy now? your life has been fulfilled?
