Yesterday the Portland Trail Blazers parted ways with long-time Head Coach Terry Stotts. As soon as the news became official, and in a few cases even before, rumors about potential replacements circled. As the night wore on, two names rose to the top of the rumor list: Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups.
Upon further investigation, it turned out that both men had serious issues in their past. Kidd was convicted of a domestic violence charge. Billups settled out of court after he and teammates were accused of sexual assault. Neither event was recent; both hold gravity.
