This summer the NBA will have a great dance of coaches. It is inevitable when only in the last few hours we have seen two teams separate their way from that of their coach after many years.
Steve Clifford and Terry Stotts put an end this weekend to their respective stages in Orlando Y Portland, giving rise to speculation about who could replace them at the head of these teams.
Just a few days before the surprise jumped in Boston: Brad
Stevens He stopped training to focus on sports management and now the Celtics are also looking for someone to take over the reins of their bench.
There are various names that have come up to fill all these vacancies. The one who has led almost all the rumors has been Jason
Kidd, the legendary point guard and now assistant to Frank Vogel in the Lakers.
Kidd has been linked to Portland, where Lillard has already admitted that he would love to have him as a coach, and with the Celtics. However, Kidd himself has stated that he will not seek to train the BlazersInstead, it will focus on other goals.
Another name in the shortlist has been Chauncey
Billups. The one who was champion with the Pistons currently works as an assistant in the Clippers of Ty Lue and is immersed in full playoffs with the Los Angeles franchise, which last night went to the semifinals after beating Dallas.
Billups has sounded for Boston
Celtics now that Stevens has vacated his bench seat. However, it would be strange if he made any kind of decision until his particular season comes to an end.
Of course these will not be the only names on the scene this summer. There have been more rumors that teams like Indiana
Pacers they are also looking for a change in their staff coach or some of the franchises that have been left out of the playoffs.
To own Rick
Carlisle, coach of the Mavericks, was asked after being eliminated last night if he thought he was still the right man to lead Dallas. His answer left his future in the hands of the owner, Mark
Cuban.
