Cue the wild speculation: Doc will go to Chicago with LeBron

Doc lebron Terence Moore speaks in definite terms over at FanHouse:

He's going to the Chicago Bulls.


Trust me.


Oh, and here's another thing: When
LeBron James switches his dribbling home around
the Great Lakes from Erie to Michigan, he'll bring his own coach with
him.


It'll be Doc Rivers.


Now you can move on with the rest of your lives.

Yes, we CAN move on… because this is a load of crap.

There are no sources… there is no "I've been told".  There's just "this makes sense because…" and then specious reasoning that includes well, he's changing his number from 23 to 6, so he MUST be going to Chicago and Doc's FROM Chicago, so he's going home

That's all well and good, except his family doesn't live in Chicago.  And when he goes "home" in the offseason, he goes to Orlando, not Chicago.  You know why Orlando is his home?  Because he doesn't have to pay income taxes there.  That's why a lot of these guys live there. 

Yeah, home is nice.  Living in a place that lets you keep millions of dollars is better. 

Doc Rivers isn't leaving Boston to take another coaching job.  He's either sticking around or he's taking a couple of years off to go sit in the NBA TV studios in Atlanta.  I'll believe otherwise when he's gone… or when someone writes something that relies on more than a gut feeling.
