Blazers and Celtics choose their new coaches

Two teams have chosen their new coaches, they are the Blazers and the Celtics who already have the men who will guide their teams from the bench for the next few seasons.

In the case of Portland, it is Chauncey Billups, who will be officially presented this Tuesday, his contract will be for five years. In the election there is a bit of controversy, because in the past, Billups was involved in an investigation for participating in an alleged violation, during his first year in the NBA when he was part of the Boston Celtics. In the end, the Blazers spoke on the subject and found no reason to change their mind, so Billups will get his first chance as a coach in the NBA leading the Blazers.

He has extensive experience as an assistant coach having worked alongside Gregg Popovich with the Spurs from 2012 to 2019, spent time with the Sixers and until a few days ago he was part of Steve Nash’s staff with the Brooklyn Nets.

Udoka takes Brad Stevens’ place and the advantage is that he knows well several of the players led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, as he has coincided with them in the United States team.
