Report: Chauncey Billups Emerges as 'Frontrunner' for Portland Head Coaching Job

Chauncey Billups has reportedly emerged as the "frontrunner" for the Trail Blazers' head coaching position, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The former Finals MVP and current Clippers assistant coach was also previously rumored to be in the mix for the Celtics head coaching job by Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. He was drafted by the Celtics as the third overall pick in 1997, but Billups played just 51 games for the franchise before Rick Pitino traded him to Toronto.

"I like J. Kidd and Chauncey," Damian Lillard previously told The Athletic's Jason Quick and Shams Charania.
