According to Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times, “all indications” are that Doc Rivers and Steve Ballmer have agreed on a multi-year extension for the Clippers’ head coach, who just completed the fourth season of a five-year contract:
Although nothing has been made official, all indications are that Rivers and Ballmer have reached an agreement on a multiyear extension that will keep Rivers here for a remodeling job that will begin soon.
Rivers’ coaching, along with the rest of the team and locker room, deteriorated as the Lob City era wore on—and he certainly has his share of the blame to bear for the on-court and locker-room tensions that caused the Chris Paul and Blake Griffin-led Clippers teams to fall short of ever reaching a Western Conference Finals.
