洛杉磯快艇在今天(26日)正式宣佈，原塞爾蒂克總教練Doc Rivers已經與快艇簽下合約，將成為快艇新任總教練兼籃球事務部資深副總裁，快艇將在明天舉行記者會，正式對外引介Rivers。
塞爾蒂克同意快艇提出的1個2015年首輪未受保護選秀權條件與Rivers解約，在快艇宣布Rivers簽約的消息後，塞爾蒂克總管Danny Ainge也發表公開聲明表示：「我要感謝Doc這9年來的友誼與出色的執教功力，他是個很棒的隊友，快艇得到了非常好的教練，沒有他我們不會奪冠。」
Ainge透露，直到5月9日之前，他從沒有想過Rivers會離開塞爾蒂克，Rivers在季後賽遭紐約尼克淘汰後，面對媒體時並沒有明確回應是否會繼續留在塞爾蒂克執教的問題，為了釐清Rivers的想法，Ainge在9日當天與Rivers會談，才確定Rivers有意離隊。
儘管先前媒體不斷報導塞爾蒂克與快艇之間的交易協商，Ainge強調直到昨天他都還不認為Rivers真的會離隊：「不管外界怎麼報導，我們和快艇都不曾接近交易。我想這就是商業的一部份，你不會想要太情緒化。這不是我選擇的也不是我想要的，但我還是祝他一切順利。」
Rivers本人接受《ESPN》波士頓地區記者訪問時則說：「就只是時候到了。我不覺得現在應該講這些，我已經決定在快艇記者會後跟所有波士頓媒體訪問，我會忠於這個決定，到時候我會向大家解釋。但是說我拚命想離開波士頓、離開塞爾蒂克，那是錯的，事情不是如此，我也沒有那樣想。」
