Bill Simmons v Doc Rivers

He seemed pretty pissed about it in the interview he had on Grantland; I think he was talking with Abbot or one of the other ESPN guys (can't remember now). Say that the owners would be pissed at Doc. They came out the day of the trade saying no bad feelings, all the best, thanks for getting us the draft pick. WTF Simmons?

Once again I agree with celtic green. Doc leaving is no big deal. I think it was a good outcome for all parties.

I didn't read what Simmons said, but he was probably just trying to stir up the story a bit. He is, after all, in the sports entertainment business!

I like Simmons but in this case I thought his reasoning was all wrong. From the way it seemed to play out the the Celtics where more than happy to get rid of Doc (and his $7 million a year salary) and start the rebuilding process. The fact they got a first round draft pick out of it made it all the better (Riley only got 2nd rounders when he went to Miami if I remember correctly).

I can't see why he is so bitter about this, even the owners said they where happy for Doc to go. My own personal take on it is thanks very much for some great memories and all the best in the future Doc (also the same with Ray Allen who I still think should not be hated for going to Miami after he was nearly traded like 3 years in a row but I am going off topic here)
