Per WOJ's Twitter


Sources: Brooklyn Nets assistant Mike D’Antoni will get a second interview for the Portland job this week. Spurs assistant Becky Hammon met Monday for her second and Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups will also meet again with the Blazers this week.

Poor Melo...

I don't understand how this guy gets so many chances...

IMO Portland needs a defensive coach. They're loaded with offensive talent...

They gotta avoid this if they ever want to make it to the finals

i feel bad for Dame.

[MadDog]

Don't know how he keeps landing jobs. Really good offensive coach, but piss poor defensively. Can't lead a locker room either.

I'll believe it when I see hit. Portland can't be that dumb.

That's a great hire for Portland if true. They are never going to play defense anyway with guys like Lillard\CJ as their stars, might as well max out their offense.

To this day I still believe D’Antoni was the reason Kobe had his career cut short. Dude doesn’t care about the longevity of his players. Playing them insane minutes every game.

Nash played for him a lot longer than Kobe did, why wasnt his career cut short?

Nash broke his leg the moment he left the Suns for the Lakers. All that mileage from his DAntoni days probably were the major reason for that. Nash was drafted the same year as Kobe and his career basically ended that season.

Kobe wasn't his type of player, he was more into his own system and types like Nash & Lin. Kobe litterally gave his all that season, playing like Magic, MJ or guarding young fast pg's (because 40 year old nash he wanted and Darius Morris were giving up record breaking numbers) whatever the team needed and dude was talking on open court about how it wasn' easy to coach someone like that blabla. His real issues were Dwight & Pau not fitting in his system, getting swept by record margin after Kobe brought them there.

F yeah. Genius coach.

Stacked roster

[Gohan]

lillard prob gonna get mvp next year

[Airupthere]

This is going to boost lillard's numbers but does not make them competitive to win it next year. Up to Lillard what he wants to do next.

He was more selfish too apparently.

Franchises only hire D'Antoni to boost players market value, not to win chips. Poor Dame.

[Smoke117]

His old ass just needs to retire from coaching and do commentary.

[LukeWalton]

awesome

Play half the defense
Double the offense
