Doc Rivers is a safe choice for the New Orleans Pelicans but is he the right one?
Just days ago the Los Angeles Clippers and Doc Rivers parted ways after seven seasons together and a 356-208 record. The New Orleans Pelicans have never had a coach near Doc’s level, so it would make sense for the Pels to go after him.
If Doc Rivers was the next coach of the Pelicans, I’d be happy with that move, as he’s one of the top coaches in the NBA right now and brings a strong (if hoarse) voice with him wherever he goes and has been a winner everywhere he’s been.
