After a rapid courtship and negotiation, Doc Rivers has reached agreement on a deal to become the next coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN.

I just don't get it. I mean Doc is an ok coach but he just led the most talented team in the NBA to a round 2 loss. and it wasn't even to LeBron. What does Philly think he's going to do with their less talented, more poorly constructed team?

Doc has not been a good coach for a long time. Very overrated.

He’s a safe hire, won’t totally frick things up and he’s better than Brett Brown.

Pelicans just need to dodge the Jason Kidd and Mark Jackson bullets now and I’ll most likely be happy with the choice

He’s a decent coach but he gets treated like a great one.

He’s got gravity and influence but he’s squandered a lot of talent, and lost a lot of series he should have won. And all of his teams eventually develop chemistry issues.

I don’t envy the task of trying to make Philly’s roster work.

Once you get a HC job in the nba and even have remotely moderate success you are set.

Alvin Gentry has somehow gotten like 5 jobs and the dude is trash.

Whoever got the Philly job was going to be in a rough spot for the next couple of years due to some of those awful contracts they've given out.

Maybe he can get lucky and actually have a healthy Simmons/Embiid.

Why would he take the Sixers job? Ben Simmons gonna magically start shooting 3s better?

Exactly. Good luck trying to do anything with that.

They have to move their trash for someone else’s trash and give up whatever they have to. There’s always some dumb GM out there. Probably David Griffin.

Love how it is doc fault kawhi went 4/21 in the second half of game 6 and 7 and George couldn’t hit much of anything himself.

yep

the fact that Kidd is still in the bubble and we seem to be moving deliberately slow makes me nervous as hell

When you have the most blown 3-1 leads in league history you aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt anymore.

If we hired Kidd or Jackson it’ll make my Gentry melt look tame.

NBA hires often seem more skewed towards "the devil you know..." types
