Jason Kidd’s name was immediately associated with the bench of the Blazers – remained vacant a few hours after the elimination in the first playoff round against Denver, following the removal of coach Terry Stotts – also sponsored by the words of Damian Lillard who had underlined: “He is the right man for our team”. The wishes of the Portland All-Star, however, will not be fulfilled and it is the person concerned to confirm this with his statements to ESPN: “The Blazers are a top-level franchise and will have several excellent coaches ready to fill the role of head coach, but I I decided not to be on that list. Whoever is chosen will have a great legacy to refer to, trying to improve the excellent path made by Terry Stotts in recent years ”. According to what has been told, it was Lillard’s words that made him desist – convinced that such an opening would have created a big one mistaken in the process of selecting the new technical guide of the Blazers. In Oregon, no one has officially made any requests yet, but during this week talks will begin with several famous coaches that were talked about in the past few hours: Apr and favorites Jeff Van Gundy, Mike D’Antoni and Juwan Howard. A list in which Kidd’s name no longer appears, also associated with a possible adventure in Boston as a replacement for Brad Stevens and until today happy with his role alongside Frank Vogel in Los Angeles.
