Contrary to speculation, coach Doc Rivers says he didn't demand that the Celtics retain Blount. The only thing I kept saying to Danny was, 'Assets, assets, assets,' ... When I talked with Mark, I liked what he told me. He kept talking about defense and, even though everyone told me he would not be back, he kept telling me that he wanted to be a Celtic. I told Danny and the owners, 'Here's a guy that wants to be in Boston.'
