Assuming the Celtics lose Game 7.......

I took it as Chef thinking he would be let go.

 

At least according to Chad Ford, if Rivers was available when the Celtics picked, they wouldn't take him anyway because they'd be afraid of the chaos in the locker room it might create.

 

No way Doc goes. He's one of the top coaches in the league. They should keep KG as well.

 

If Doc's still domiciled in Orlando, walking away is always a possibility.
I'm assuming Allen's gone next year, but can still see this team making a big run. I think the key to next year may be down the bench - Etwaun Moore. While a bunch of guys were hurt, he exploded off the bench to lead a rally from 27 down at Orlando to win a midseason game. He landed back on the bench, but he did about as much as Avery Bradley did last year. If he can make the step in his second year hat Bradley did...and even this year, Bradley didn't get his chance until injuries hit.

 

The Lakers (or Heat) might make him a big, fat offer. Not likely, but not outside the realm of possibility, either.

 

Was game 6 the first game you've seen all year? Have you followed the NBA at all prior to Thursday night?

 

Yeah, plus they have another "lottery ticket" guy in Johnson. Sometimes those guys are JR Giddens and don't ever contribute, but the Ainge and Rivers combination has been pretty fruitful in recent years at turning low first round and second round picks into either contributions or valuable assets for trades - Bill Walker, Glen Davis, Bradley, Leon Powe, etc.
