After only 3 days on the free-agent coaching market, Doc Rivers has agreed to become the next head coach of the Philadephia 76ers.

According to ESPN, this was a rapid courtship and negotiation and after 72 hours from parting ways with the LA Clippers, Doc Rivers is headed to Philadelphia. He will be reunited with Tobias Harris who he helped blossom in Los Angeles but will also coach superstars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. What will Rivers bring to the 76ers organization?

Sports Illustrated host Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Justin Grasso from ALL 76ers for insight.
