Doc Rivers is expected to begin discussions soon on a new contract with the
Los Angeles Clippers' new owner, Steve Ballmer, according to sources.
Yahoo體育網站記者Adrian Wojnarowski從可靠消息源得知:
快艇新任老闆Steve Ballmer,不久就會與球隊教練Doc Rivers討論新的合約。
Ballmer and Rivers had been eager to forge a long-term partnership.
Ballmer gained official ownership status of the Clippers on Tuesday.
Ballmer雖然美國時間週二,才正式獲得快艇的經營權,但他與Rivers都想要建立長期的
合作關係。
Rivers, 52, the president of basketball operations and head coach, has two
years left on his original three-year, $21 million contract. Rivers is
already one of the highest-paid executives and coaches in professional sports.
現年52歲的Rivers,目前在快艇的名分除了總教練外,也兼任籃球事務部門的總經理。
他在去年與快艇簽訂的3年/2100萬美金的合約,事實上要到2016才會正式到期,而這份
合約也讓他成為職業運動中,薪水最高的球隊高層與教練。
The Clipeprs won 57 games last season in Rivers' first year and went to the
Western Conference semifinals.
Rivers上任快艇總教練的第一年,就讓球隊贏了57場例行賽,並在季後賽階段打到西區
準決賽。
