Doc as the GM hasn't been so great (if DeAndre would have actually signed with Mavs...man Clips would be screwed). Doc is a good coach, but the playoffs was a straight embarrassment to lose while being up 3-1..no excuses for that at all.
How good a coach is Doc, really? He never has been able to develop a good bench save for the year the Celtics won it. How many Rondo backups failed here? The Perkins trade was a result of them realizing they couldn't win that year because their bench stunk. And his bench in LA has consistently let him down.
Not saying he stinks, he is a solid game coach. But there's more to coaching than game management and motivation, which granted he's pretty good at.
Developing the bench is just as much of a GM's job as it is the coach's responsibility (although, obviously, he's been a pretty awful GM).
He's caught a lot of (deserved) criticism for his job as a GM but they might have a very good bench this season. Especially if Lance Stephenson isn't a lost cause. Then again, maybe Stephenson's crazy mojo is the reason there is turmoil in the Clippers. It seems to follow that dude.
