As the Portland Trail Blazers enter into a crucial offseason, they have to figure out what they want to do with head coach Chauncey Billups. Billups signed a five-year deal with Portland in 2021, including a team option in the final season. With him only having one year left on his current contract with the team, they reportedly want to avoid dealing with the lame-duck situation next season. According to Sean Highkin of Rose Garden Report, Portland wants to settle the uncertainty surrounding the team.
The dust has now settled on the Phoenix Suns' hiring of Mike Budenholzer, but the organization may have taken a different route if a handful of other names were available according to Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro. "Mike Budenholzer's the guy that can have success in a regular season but then also have what it takes to make the adjustments necessary to help this team - we all know the adjustment he made by putting Giannis at center against the Suns in the NBA Finals and how that turned the tide of that series when the Suns were up 2-0," said Gambadoro.
The Portland Trail Blazers suffered a departure from their coaching staff this weekend, when it was reported that assistant coach Steve Hetzel would be joining Jordi Fernandez's new Brooklyn Nets coaching staff as an assistant, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Hetzel had been with the Blazers for the last three seasons.
