Pending league approval, Doc Rivers will become the new coach of the L.A. Clippers. Boston agreed to release him from the final 3 years of his contract in exchange for an unprotected 1st round draft choice in 2015. Rivers will get the same deal from the Clips (3-years, $21M) that he had remaining on his Boston deal. Guess the Celtics are going into a major rebuilding mode. No word yet on what will happen with Pierce and Garnett.
This trade is a head-scratcher for the Nets. They just got a lot older, as Garnett is 37 and Pierce and Terry are 35 each. This means their window for a title is 2 years, at best. I can't see where this trade makes them higher than the 3rd or 4th best team in the East. Add a rookie head coach who's only 3 years older than Garnett and the 2014 season should be an interesting one for Brooklyn.
