Report: Becky Hammon, Dawn Staley Among Candidates for Trail Blazers Head Coach Vacancy

The Trail Blazers are reportedly eyeing a slew of basketball legends for their head coach opening.

Spurs assistant Becky Hammon, South Carolina women's basketball head coach Dawn Staley, Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups, Nets assistant Mike D'Antoni and Spurs vice president of basketball operations Brent Barry are all reportedly candidates for the vacancy in Portland, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The Trail Blazers fired former head coach Terry Stotts last week and star point guard Damian Lillard told The Athletic he wanted Lakers assistant Jason Kidd to be his new coach and also named Billups as someone he was leaning toward.
