I like Stotts a lot and I think he's a great person and coach but there is absolutely no way the pelicans hire him lol.
Id guess he does to the mavs as an assistant or maybe boston

The bigger story here is that we can close the Dame trade thread.
This is loud and clear signal #1 that the Blazers are going to move as many deck chairs on the Titanic as they can unti the ship is lost under the abyss and Leo is dead and floating away.

GM is not going to do anything with SVG and have little faith in his ability to make any talent upgrade.

Hey man, my thread has been gold! But yeah....this is their last ditch effort to keep Dame invested. They will pretty much consult him on any offseason moves if they intend to keep him there.

A coach isn’t going to fix what’s wrong with the Blazers. Zach Lowe and Chris Herring were talking about the problem being something very familiar to us. They have a #3 player cast as their #2 like the Pels with Jrue. You can’t trade a #3 and get back a #2.
I think Dame saw how far away they were when he made the comments about how they couldn’t beat Denver without their starting back court. This is definitely not over because he gets to pick the next coach.

I definitely feel like Dame is frustrated right now, but I still think it's a VERY LONG shot that he actually tells the org to trade him. And Portland isn't going to trade him if he doesn't ask out. He puts butts in seats and he is a great teammate. Despite what we fans think, I'm sure Portland's owner would rather be a perennial playoff team indefinitely and keep fan interest hight versus going through a two or more year rebuild to hopefully one day surpass this ceiling of a 2nd round team.
It's not like they are a pels type of team where they are fighting tooth and nail every year just for a shot to make the post-season.
I think the only way portland even considers trading dame is if they either unequivocally win the trade (virtually impossible) or if Dame demands it. And I just don't see Dame doing that.

Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard tells
@YahooSports
his preference to be the next head coach of the franchise is Jason Kidd: “[He’s] the guy I want.”
Seems like Dame is testing them, to me. We'll see if they cave to his wishes.

It’s not so much loyalty as the Blazers have the leverage here.
Lillard is there 5 years. The only way a trade was ever happening is if:
1.) Dame was utterly fed up to the point he decided to go scorched Earth
2.) The Blazers saw this sort of exercise as pointless and believed a hard reboot was the wisest path forward(it probably is).
Without both of those components you aren’t getting Dame this season. People can downvote away and live in their magical thinking, but it’s the truth. And frankly, as we come up on Zion’s next contract. We should probably not be so quick at wishing players that are highly leveraged to once again drastically shift the norms in that sort of way.

For the last couple years he's been pounding the drum for Vanterpool to get a head coaching job, I guess he's not good enough to be his own head coach though?
Posted on 6/5/21 at 7:20 am to Bronc
I really don’t understand why everyone says a hard reboot is the best way forward. The Pelicans have been obscenely lucky by winning the lottery and getting Zion. Can you imagine how crappy it would be if we wouldn’t have won the lottery? Can you imagine how crappy it must be to be a Rockets fan right now, assuming they don’t win the lottery?
Obtaining players at Dame’s level is the absolute hardest thing to do, especially in a market like Portland. Dame is also very special in his mindset compared to other star level guys. He hasn’t bought into the Lebron/KD aau way of thinking. If he doesn’t go scorched earth, and I sincerely hope he doesn’t because that’s what makes him special, the worst case is Portland makes the playoffs for the next 4-5 years and they have a guy they build a statue of in front of the arena. Best case is they luck into a rebuild around dame where they hit every move and they compete for championships for 4-5 years. Either way, it is much better than staring into the abyss with no guy like dame to captain the ship.

Man, I’d hate to move on from Stotts just to replace him with either of them, though I’d obviously prefer Billups if I’m a Blazers fan. This feels like change for the sake of change.
Also, how much blackmail does Kidd have on the league to keep getting interviews for head coaching jobs? His tenure with the Bucks should be a permanent disqualification, his decisions were consistently horrendous
