LOL at Doc apologists.
Don't you love it when he tried to claim the upper ground after calling Simmons an idiot. Well we know Simmons is not an idiot so Doc was wrong when he called him one.
We do however know that Doc is a quitter because he quit on his contract with the Celtics. He definitely did not stay to fight.
Doc quit every year after the playoffs to think about whether his quit would be temporary or permanent. Well the quit finally became permanent this year.
Own it Doc, you quit.
This is all "noise".
Timeline starts.(You can pick right after the Knick's loss or right after the Nets overture...take your pick)
I'm not interested in anyone's including Simmons "opinions"
Follow the timeline. The letter which refutes Doc's claim was sent May 8th. Doc can set that aside by saying what he did which was he doesn't doubt he got the letter he just never opened it.
So You have a guy going through his year end Hamlet spiel and right after receiving overtures from the Nets your boss sends you a letter. Why not call? Why not meet? (Communication breakdown for folks in a close relationship??...but I clearly digress)..anyway so the letter with very clear business terms stating Doc was expected to fulfill his contract goes unopened.
That is very odd hard to believe and supremely convenient for a person who's narrative jumps to a meeting with Ainge that is happening in the midsts of the Clippers offer. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was before.
I could care less about Simmons. I do care that we are one of 2 teams in the entire NBA WITHOUT A COACH.
I don't even care about quitting.....I think he lied and manipulated my favorite team into a bad position at a bad time and that infuriates me.
