Given that their talisman, Damian Lillard had made his disappointment clear, the Blazers will be determined to keep their main man happy. According to multiple reports, Lillard has been lobbying for Lakers’ assistant coach Jason Kidd as the new head coach.
In the last two years, Kidd has been an integral part of Frank Vogel’s coaching staff. Given that he already has NBA coaching experience, he is certainly one of the favorites for the job. But the Blazers aren’t the only team in pursuit of the former Nets’ coach with teams like the Celtics also interested. Will the Blazers land Kidd for the head coaching role?
