I like Quinn..

Utah peaked and its downhill from here. I hope Donovan can get a true running mate at some point in his career. He should try for the Knicks next re-up

Is Doc Rivers getting fired? Trying to understand why he would leave the 76ers for the trash ass Lakers.
you missed the article breh?

article said:
The Philadelphia 76ers have fired head coach Doc Rivers after another early playoff exit.

The 76ers, who traded for the often aloof out of shape All-Star James Harden, fell well short of expectations this season after losing to the defending NBA Champions Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Sixers owner Josh Harris criticized Rivers as an "out of touch "oldhead" who thinks the world revolves around him".

"He has the nerve to bully Ben Simmons, when he couldn't shoot outside of 15 feet his damn self," added Harris.

"Thank you Sixer Nation for allowing me to be your coach and for all your support in helping make this a winning franchise," Rivers posted on Twitter.

"When I took this job, my goals were to make this a winning basketball program, a free agent destination, and bring a championship to this organisation.

"While I was able to accomplish most of my goals, I won't be able to see them all through. Though it was a disappointing ending to our season, you are right there and I know what this team is capable of accomplishing with your support.

"Thank you to all the players, coaches, and staff for helping us get here. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. We went through a lot, and I am grateful for my time here."

Two teams with coaching openings, the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers, have already reached out to Rivers, according to The Undefeated.

The Sixers were viewed as massive disappointments in the NBA playoffs due to the collapse against the Bucks.

I'm not a fan of Vogel, should have never got the job to begin with. But to suggest that he was the only thing wrong with this team is laughable. Vogel is not the only person who should be looking for a new job:francis:

Doc Rivers definitely has dirt on a lot of people. I don't know how he keeps getting so many head coaching jobs. He damn near choked the 2008 playoffs away for the celtics.

I feel like a lot of his criticism is unfair. The Clippers were just injury prone, if healthy he might've gotten them to finals at least once. beyond that though they just didn't have the talent to be a dynasty.
The Clippers shouldn’t have let him be GM. Had he been coach the whole time with no personnel responsibility things may have went better. A real GM may have been able to get him a consistent perimeter scoring threat, which he always lacked.

Lebron has respected Doc since he had to teamup with Wade and Bosh just to beat docs celtics. Thing is tho why would Doc want to go to LA? Ten years ago he left boston to avoid another rebuild…Lakers will be rebuilding his second year there. Hes supposed to go to a win now situation.
Because he’s not gonna have a job this summer. Doc ain’t in a position to be picky.
