What would you rather have?
Pay 7 mil a year for Doc to coach a team without KG and Pierce?
or
Have another coach for much less money, and an unprotected draft pick?
Of course this was mutual. Why would the Celtics want Doc to coach a young team at 7M when they could get a cheaper coach and an extra first round pick? Literally every one wins in this scenario except for confused fans who want to put their fear of change and sadness in losing a team we had grown close to one some scapegoat. Doc, Danny, Wyk, Paul, KG, Billy King, Prokorov, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd everyone got exactly what they all wanted.
