On the day that Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Terry Stotts was dismissed, rumors about his replacement have been swirling like a hurricane in a blender. Several national media sources, connected to different members of the organization, have put forth possible candidates for the now-vacant position.
Into the fray comes Shams Charania of The Athletic, who published a piece after interviewing Blazers point guard Damian Lillard, suggesting that Lillard’s preferred candidates—thus likely the team’s as well—boil down to two choices: Los Angeles Lakers Assistant Head Coach Jason Kidd or Los Angeles Clippers Assistant Chauncey Billups.
