Recently, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers went on the Rich Eisen Show for an interview. Rivers was asked what some of the factors were that lead to his decision on coming to the franchise in the offseason. He went on to cite his close relationship with 76ers President Daryl Morey, and later said this to further elaborate on his statement:
“Daryl’s had several trades so far that I’ve said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that,’ and he moves on. That’s the type of relationship you have to have when you have coach and management, I think it works that way.
