Doc Rivers has agreed to a five-year contract extension as Celtics coach, a deal that would keep him in Boston to help rebuild the franchise when the Big Three era is done.
"I think Doc is the best coach in the league. So it's great for us - general manager Danny Ainge said Friday in his wrap-up news conference at the team's practice facility - Doc wants to be here. It's not all because he thinks that over the next five years we will have the best team in the NBA”.
