The Trail Blazers’ search for a new coach to replace Terry Stotts has unfolded in a haphazard way since Friday. Preferred lists have emerged from both ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Damian Lillard (via The Athletic and Yahoo Sports NBA Insider Chris Haynes). Now, as the first full week of Portland’s coaching search is set to unfold, The Athletic’s Sam Amick provided insight regarding Lillard’s role in the process.
According to the report from Amick, Lillard is not in the driver’s seat when it comes to the Blazers’ coaching search.
A source with knowledge of the situation said Lillard is not making demands of any kind when it comes to the coaching hire.
