Update: Latest on Rivers, Garnett Trade Talks
Perhaps just as quickly as they heated up, the talks between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers cooled right back down and are now reportedly over. Yahoo! Sports', Adrian Wojnarowski, reported late last night that the Celts and Clips were putting talks to bed and would continue them today. However, the only thing that continued were the snags and, thus, negotiations...
Doc Rivers Unsure about Returning to Celtics after Trade Talks Die?
I pointed this out on Twitter yesterday actually. If the reported trade talks between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers break down or don’t ever actually materialize, how does Doc just go back to Boston and coach? Seems that since the talks are dead, now he’s unsure of returning to the team according to [...]
Doc Rivers unsure about returning to Celtics after Clippers talks break down
It appears Doc Rivers won’t be coaching the Clippers any time soon. According to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Rivers isn't sure he'll be coaching the Celtics either. “Rivers is unsure about returning to the Boston Celtics as coach,” Wojnarowski reported, citing league sources. The Celtics, however, apparently still want Rivers back to fulfill the remaining three...
Report: Doc “unsure” about return to Boston
So that’ s it. After all the madness of the past couple of days, a deal with the Clippers to send Doc and KG out west is dead.
But the Celtics interest in Doc is not.

Doc Still Unsure About Future
Y! Sources: After a deal to the Clippers falls apart, Doc Rivers is unsure about his return to the Celtics as coach. http://t.co/dxk7fwtso5

Wojo is reporting that Doc is still unsure about returning to Boston, which is to be expected after the drama of the past few days. Danny has informed Doc that he still wants him to return...
Why do the Clippers want Doc Rivers?
Phil Jackson says he won because he had great players. While true, Phil Jackson was also a great coach. We saw how bad the Lakers became with Phil not on the sidelines. The Boston Celtics were terrible at basketball before Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen arrived in 2008. Even with Paul Pierce, they were horrendous. You know who was there at that time as well? Doc Rivers. But for some...
Report: Danny Ainge calls Doc Rivers, tells him deal is off and he wants him back with Celtics
From Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski.
Danny Ainge has called Doc Rivers to tell him that talks are done, sources tell Y! Sports. Ainge told him he still wants him as coach.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 18, 2013
Welp, this is awkward.
Ainge may want Doc back, but at this point I would rank the possibilities as following:
1. Doc works in TV next year
2. Celtics...

Doc Rivers advising both Clippers and Celtics in trade talks?
Things have really gone sour for the Celtics and Doc Rivers and as things continue to move along it seems like Doc won't be able to come back.
Apparently, he's playing both sides in these negotiations.

Brian Shaw rumored to be frontrunner to succeed Doc Rivers as head coach of the Celtics
The name I've heard most as a possible replacement for Doc Rivers if he leaves the Celtics: Brian Shaw.
— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) June 17, 2013
Brian Shaw has been bouncing around like a pinball the past few weeks. As soon as Shaw misses out on one coaching gig, as another team hires a coach, he immediately becomes a front runner for another team. Who knows what type...
Report: Doc Rivers Deal Hung Up on Clippers Agreeing to Take Jason Terry or Courtney Lee
The deal to send Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers for a compensation package is extremely close to being consummated, with only one last snag before an agreement can be reached.

Doc Rivers-Kevin Garnett Proposed Trade Could Bring Danny Ainge Pieces for Future Celtics Championship
I couldn’t believe it. The Celtics, who had the second-worst record in the league after the 2006-07 season, were once again in position to either pick No. 1 or 2 in the draft. It’s like the basketball gods finally realized the error of their ways, when the C’s were in position to pick first in the 1997 draft and select Tim Duncan, only to settle for the No. 3 pick in the form...
What to make of the Doc Rivers situation
Where Doc Rivers will coach next season, if he will at all, is still to be determined.
The latest reports have Rivers leaving Boston to either coach the L.A. Clippers or hanging up the clipboard for a bit to return to broadcasting. There's always the possibility that Rivers could come back to coach the Celtics, but as CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely points out, that option is...

Well, we thought this all would come to a head soon, and it has.

Hearing Clips already prepping for intro press conference for at least Doc & KG. Hard to see deal not being done soon.

Doc Rivers to Clippers would give Celtics headstart for rebuild
It looks the time may have finally come. The end of the KG-Pierce-Rivers era appears imminent and the long delayed rebuilding may be arriving at last. With the roster the Celtics have now, they are a 30-something win team and an injury or two away from ending up in next year’s lottery. If they decide to begin the rebuilding project this offseason they will be even worse, which...
