Im guessing extension consists making 8 figures a year.

I don't think the clippers owner would ever overpay for anything like that. That's like saying the owner would pay 2billion for a franchise with only 1 year of relevancy.

ESPN reported its 10 mil PER SEASON. Rivers getting PIAD!

Lol I'm loving this.. ballmer is crazzyyy...

Doc is good but clearly not worth 10m per year. Good luck.

Wouldn't be surprised if they gonna give DeAndre max extension next, lol.

10 mill for a coach who still won't get the clippers a championship. 10 mill for a coach. Wow.

Questionable call by Ballmer to say the least.

Probably being compensated for previous injuries and having to work for Sterling twice in his lifetime, as player and then as coach. otherwise this makes no sense 10M? Plus these trades and move he has made have been questionable. Eric Bledsoe trade , what a give away.

Perfect storm for Doc to cash in. Good job agent.

If a king size Snickers is worth $2.25 then Doc is worth 10mil... it's just inflation and we'll see more of this soon. Plus he's being paid to do two jobs. If they were paying him 6mil and a GM 4mil most people would probably be OK with it.

Wtf are you serious? i could see why every player is asking for max... Why hello Doc isnt a player, i see his assistant coaches do most of the work jeesh talk about a guy who took advantage of race... ballmer is stupid this is just ridiculous!! Someone give POPs 20 mill a year now lol thats impressive stats

Do coach salaries count against the cap?

I think it's safe to say Ballmer gives no **** about money. That Microsoft wealth.

HAHAHAHA. Doc River is the most overrated coach in all of basketball. 10 mil a year for a dude who is a 25-win coach without multiple superstars and high-profiled assistants.

Let's see if the Clippers can maintain their #1 offense this year without their offense coach Alvin Gentry (gone).

Let's see if the Clippers finally get out of the 2nd round. I bet not.

Doc Rivers = glorified Mark Jackson.
