Chris Paul widely expected to become a head coach

Rivers, now with the Philadelphia 76ers, won a championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and ranks 10th on the NBA’s all-time wins list with 966. The consensus among league executives is the next player to make a similar leap to calling plays will be Chris Paul. “You look at his leadership, the fact that every team he winds up with is better once he gets there than they were before he arrived. It makes you believe that he’ll be a hell of a coach,” an Eastern Conference executive said. “I think any organization would be crazy not to see if there’s a way to get him on board when he’s done playing.”
