He doesn't get enough credit for the 97 games he won.

Leaving franchises in worst positions than when he first got there is the Doc Rivers special.

[Future Coach]

It's a weird thing, because, objectively - without Giannis - their team sucks. So why pay another head coach for next season when they will suck? But since they don't have their draft pick they will try to win some games somehow, and they think to do that they should fire Doc. I don't disagree with it, but they previously hired Doc (and fired someone else) because they thought he could help them win games. So clearly the people who previously made the decision to hire Doc made the wrong decision (on top of other wrong decisions), yet those same people are still in their roles as decision makers? Why do they still have their job?

I could be mistaken but they do have their pick and projected around 9th

Atl got the more favorable pick between Pels and Bucks. As it stands Atl will get pels pick and Bucks will retain their pick.

To be totally blunt- his mobility is not great and he should enjoy time with family and try and improve his back and his overall health. Best of luck Doc.

I more meant for next year's draft. Do they still have that pick?

Ah Doc Rivers. This guy must have mastered the art of interviewing at jobs.

They need to fire the person who hired Doc Rivers
