Will Portland move on from its fourth-year head coach?
It's no secret that the Portland Trail Blazers are one of the few Western Conference teams heading into the 2024-25 season with an eye on the 2025 NBA Draft.
Last year's No. 11 seed, the Houston Rockets, finished 41-41 and just outside of the play-in tournament race. The club is banking on internal development from shooting guard Jalen Green and center Alperin Sengun, along with the play of No. 3 pick Reed Sheppard, to help it take its own next steps. Last year's No. 12 seed, the Memphis Grizzlies, had something of an injury-plagued year from hell. The club is expected No.
Yes, Portland did bring in a talented young rookie — also, incidentally, from that same UConn club. But the team did little else in the roster construction department, outside of flipping the contract of Malcolm Brogdon for young small forward Deni Avdija. There's no question that the Trail Blazers are headed for their fourth consecutive lottery appearance under head coach Chauncey Billups, who will be a coaching free agent next summer.
