[“Doc Rivers deal is expected to be a very lucrative one, sources told
@SInow. Rivers was in a strong bargaining position and he got a very good deal to leave ESPN and return to coaching. Bucks now on the hook for a lot of coaching money with Bud, Griffin and now Doc.”](https://x.com/SIChrisMannix/status/1750194843131797974?s=20)

When you get the chance to lose in the 2nd round in humiliating fashion you gotta give him a lot of money
This is such a joke
and if Giannis isnt raising the banner in June then he deserves a worse “coach killer” label then some guys we want to smack that label on
COME ON GUYS!
… at least ownership is willing to spend? Yay
Who were they bidding against here?
Pls tell me he beat the Monty deal
Jimmy Haslem has a long history of cutting checks for embarrassing decisions. It’s like the one thing he’s good for.
This is going to be absolutely hilarious to watch over the next couple months. I am so sorry Milwaukee fans, for all you’re about to endure.
“Strong bargaining position”
“I basically told Jon I’m better at choking in the playoffs than Bud *and* Adrian Griffin but at least Giannis will like playing for me.” – Glenn “Doc” Rivers
I get the hot takes about Doc but i really think he excels as a coach with a stacked team like Milwaukee. If they were 30-13 with a “shit” coach in Adrian, i doubt they can get any worse with a proven coach in Doc, despite the memes. Playoffs will tell the whole story though so we’ll see.
Giannis lived long enough to see himself become the villain
Another 4 years deal my god
Doc is still getting insane offers in 2024 after everything he’s done since. The 2008 championship might be the most overrated one in NBA history.
Now bring back Jeff Van Gundy & Mark Jackson.
He is one of the coaches of all time
What’s the definition of insanity?
He can keep getting away with it.
It’s amazing you how you can ride the coattails of a single championship for an extremely lucrative career unless you’re *checks notes* … Mike budenholzer
76’s fans must be feasting right now lmao. Giannis stupidity allowed them to get nurse AND watch doc ruin one of their biggest competitors.
If the bucks fail to win this season, all the blame should go on Giannis
Doc must have generational charisma to keep getting jobs in the NBA like this.
Should have been sacked by Boston early on Instead he got rewarded with KG and Ray Allen, underachieved with them after winning it in their first year together, he then goes to LA to coach CP3 and Blake and again he completely underperforms, and still after that he again underperforms with Embiid and Simmons then Embiid and Harden and is now getting rewarded with Giannis and Dame! This fella is fucking generational.
I posted this yesterday from my source.

These front office people are like HR. They hire people by just looking at the goods they put on their resume.
It’s almost like they don’t pay attention to the past decade lol
I’m sorry Bucks bros
I honestly cannot comprehend how the FO ended up there. There’s absolutely no logic to it.
Horst is getting fired for this shit, and he’ll deserve it.
Milwaukee ownership does deserve a lot of credit for being one of the highest spenders over the past 5 years despite being a small market team
This is the part I don’t get, the premium price they’re paying for a proven disappointment. I get a shiny brand name appealing to the lizard brain of career executives, it’s a reflex, certainly.
But they’re paying a *ton* for this dude to come in, blow a couple big series, lose the locker room, throw people under the bus, and eventually get shuffled out.
I mean – Stotts was right there. I cannot imagine you couldn’t have gotten him for way cheaper *and* gotten someone who has experience running offense with Damian Lillard at the point.
Pacers taking them out in the first round
Being a terrible NBA coach might be a better gig than being the back up qb for a NFL team. If it starts going badly you just get your contract bought out and you’re set for life.
