Thoughts On Doc, Clippers, Celtics

Almost too much going on with the Celtics right now to make sense of it all.  Almost.  Here are some bullet points of what I think is happening/ will happen.


  • Doc Rivers MUST go.  $7 million a year for 3 years, for a guy who wants out and will be coaching a sub-par team.
  • Doc wants the Clippers to keep Bledsoe?  That's gotta be some kind of double-secret tampering.
  • DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler, and a 1st round pick is NOT enough for Doc & KG
  • True, KG (retire) and Doc (TV) could leave and the C's could get nothing, but the Clippers need them even more, so C's can't give in for less than a Bledsoe package.
  • Blake Griffin should be the player the Clips refuse to deal, not freakin Eric Bledsoe
  • Would you rather have Doc & KG or Lionel Hollins, Eric Bledsoe, and DeAndre Jordan
  • Bledsoe is a nice player.  However wouldn't surprise me if he was never an All-Star
  • Bledsoe and Jordan are both overrated.  If they were better, the Clippers (with Chris Paul and Blake) would still be playing.
  • Celtics WILL NOT buy out Paul Pierce for $5, makes no sense.
  • C's can trade Pierce this off season or even in the season.  $15 is a lot, but teams can make that work.  He's still a Top 8 small forward.
  • Where Pierce ends up is a mystery.  Clips, stays in Boston, no clue.
  • Cliff Paul is awful.
  • Ultimately LAC will include Bledsoe (after agreeing to max deal with Chris Paul) and get Doc and KG for Bledsoe, Jordan, Butler, picks.
  • Celts need to shed Jason Terry and or Courtney Lee (perhaps get less picks or what not to make that happen.)
  • If the reason the Clippers don't want to include Bledsoe in the deal is so they can pair him with Blake in a trade for Dwight, that's dumb.  Not happening.
  • C's should hire Ty Lue once Doc is out the door.
  • Vinny Del Negro is the worst.
  • Celtics need to acquire enough assets to make future push for Kevin Love or LaMarcus Aldridge.
  • C's current assets: Rondo, Bradley, Sullinger, Green, Melo, 16th pick in this month's draft.... (Doc, KG, Pierce.)
  • My head hurts trying to put all this together.

NBA MOCK DRAFT COMING SOON...
