Quoted in 'Green light on free throw issues'

Doc Rivers said in Boston Herald:

Quoted in 'Grant Hill too tough to move'

said in Boston Herald:

I was trying to gather a lot of information, trying to sort out all of the teams I was looking at. I was certainly very interested, and it was very flattering to have their interest. I can tell you that I have a lot of respect for (general manager) Danny Ainge, (coach) Doc Rivers and (owner) Steve Pagliuca, who’s a fellow Dukie, of course ... But (Phoenix) was just the right place. Boston has put together a great team, and they have great guys, but (Phoenix) just felt like home to me.
