• Doc and Danny to meet tomorrow in Boston June 18, 2013
  Adrian Wojnarowksi has the latest on the Doc Rivers drama: Doc Rivers will be in Boston on Wednesday and plans to sit down with Danny Ainge, league source says. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 18, 2013 Woj stated a few minutes later that Doc and Ainge “aren’t at odds”… As much as Rivers wanted Clippers job, Boston management wanted to use deal to speed up rebuilding process. Ainge and Rivers aren't at odds. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 18, 2013 The saga continues…
• Report: Danny Ainge calls Doc Rivers, tells him deal is off and he wants him back with Celtics June 18, 2013
  From Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski. Danny Ainge has called Doc Rivers to tell him that talks are done, sources tell Y! Sports. Ainge told him he still wants him as coach. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 18, 2013 Welp, this is awkward. Ainge may want Doc back, but at this point I would rank the possibilities as following: 1. Doc works in TV next year 2. Celtics/Clips revive talks (as CP3 moves closer to free agency, don't be surprised to see these "dead" talks come back to life) 3. Doc just spends a year with his family 4. Doc comes back to Boston As much of a pro that Doc is, he just can't come back, look his young players in the eye and tell them "hey guys, no big deal — love you and I'm your coach" and expect them to listen. Doc is done in Boston, and eventually will land elsewhere, with the C's receiving compensation. P.S. Really, really want to overhear the Clips call to CP3 after all this: 'Hey Chris! Listen, we d...
• Report: Clippers-Celtics deal a no-go June 18, 2013

• Ainge Confirms that Deal with Clippers is Dead June 18, 2013
  Danny Ainge confirms to the @BostonGlobe that the proposed Clippers-Celtics deal is, in fact, dead. — Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) June 18, 2013 Baxter Holmes, the Globe Celtics beat writer posted this tweet to indicate that Danny has confirmed the reports from the Left Coast that the negotiations have broken off. Danny doesn't want to budge from his request for 2 first round picks and Sterling feels that 2 picks and Jordan is too much to ask for Doc and KG... Danny was giving them a gift even asking for 2 picks. And that my friends is why the Clippers are now and have always been the Clippers. So now the big question is, will Doc return or will he decide to take a year off to go back to broadcasting.  Will Danny change course and try to bring the gang back for one more season or will he continue to go in a rebuilding direction?    All interesting questions that hopefully will be answered shortly.  This has already dragged on way too long.   [Discuss on CG Forums!]
• Doc Rivers advising both Clippers and Celtics in trade talks? June 18, 2013
  Things have really gone sour for the Celtics and Doc Rivers and as things continue to move along it seems like Doc won't be able to come back. Apparently, he's playing both sides in these negotiations. Latest #Celtics-Clippers: Getting emotional, as it always does…. Celtics think Doc is playing both sides, advising Clips on who to offer. — Mark Heisler (@MarkHeisler) June 18, 2013 This aligns with a report that says Doc was telling the Clippers not to send Eric Bledsoe because he wanted to coach him. Obviously playing both sides isn't the best look here, and probably the reason these talks hit a snag. The Clippers have been basically unwilling to give anything up for both Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett. They are apparently moving on to Byron Scott now. They are offering DeAndre Jordan (overpaid) and one first rounder (late and in a weak draft) for two franchise altering pieces. They won't budge at all. The Celtics have already compromised considerably, agreein...
