Rivers to sign multi-year deal to stay in Boston

[Dpantherman]

BOSTON -- A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Boston Celtics and coach Doc Rivers are working on a deal that would keep him on their bench for multiple years.

The deal is for "more than two or three years," the person told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the details were still being worked out.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge did not immediately return calls or emails seeking comment, though he did say on the radio Thursday that the sides were working on a long-term deal. Neither Rivers nor his agent, Lonnie Cooper, responded to messages seeking comment.

I don't think Doc will be coaching the Celtics in 3 years. After that, he'll be around to see his youngest son do those things. ;)

Quality move from Rivers. Tired of seeing guys like Phil Jackson abandon ship on teams.

He shouldnt be fired, but if I was him I wouldnt sign a long-term deal with the C's. That team is about to go back to early 2000's Celtics. That team is getting old quick

Edit: wrong Rivers thread. Meant to post in the "Should Doc Rivers be fired thread".
