#2 Doc Rivers - $10 million
Glenn 'Doc' Rivers spent his NBA career mostly as a reserve point guard. During his 13 seasons in the league, Rivers played for the Atlanta Hawks (who drafted him and offered him one contract after his rookie deal), the Clippers, the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs before retiring in 1996.
He began his coaching career in 1999 with the Orlando Magic, whom he coached for four seasons and took home the Coach of the Year award in 2000 - his very first season as a full-time head coach. He was sacked following a lacklustre start for the Magic in 2003-04, but found a home with the Boston Celtics the following season.
It was here that he won his first and only championship thus far, following a trade bringing Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to partner with his franchise player Paul Pierce. The quartet, along with Rondo, parted ways in 2013 when the Celtics traded Garnett and Pierce to the Nets in exchange for 6 million draft picks from Billy King and sent Rivers to the Clippers in another trade the same offseason.
Rivers has been moderately successful during his time with the Clippers, as his teams have grappled with playoff heartbreaks and injuries and dealt with considerable roster turnover. During his time in a dual executive-coach role, Rivers earned a reported $10 million a year. He has now given that role up to Jerry West, but there are no reports yet of Rivers getting a pay cut.
