Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd has been in the news consistently since the end of L.A.’s season, as he is one of the most sought-after head coaching candidates in the NBA. He was Damian Lillard’s top choice to become the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, but Kidd removed his name from consideration shortly after those rumors surfaced.
His stepping away from the Trail Blazers negotiations does not mean he will stay with the Lakers, as there are plenty of other teams with open head coaching positions. One of those teams is the rebuilding Orlando Magic.
