The Case Against Chauncey Billups

The Portland Trail Blazers hired Head Coach Chauncey Billups back in 2021 with no formal coaching experience. In the intervening four years, Billups has presided over a seismic lineup change—the departure of franchise stalwart Damian Lillard in 2023—endured a shift in front office personnel and shepherded the team through three high-profile, high-risk drafts. It’s been a heck of a roller coaster for a rookie. Billups’ overall record of 109 wins, 204 losses reflects every bump and bruise along the way.

Yesterday we opened up a Blazer’s Edge Mailbag question regarding the head coach, asking about his fitness and continued tenure.
