Jake Fischer on the Blazers' coaching situation: "The Trail Blazers, sources say, did hold some contract extension discussions with Tiago Splitter... Yet as Stein noted Sunday, new Blazers owner Tom Dundon is already taking a rather hands-on role in casting a wide net for potential options to succeed Billups in the event Splitter is not retained beyond this season. Word is Portland has even considered college coaches for the position." Fischer adds that there are "question marks" about the Blazers' front office going forward as well, noting the suspensions of Sergi Oliva and Mike Schmitz













Giannis Antetokounmpo has zero interest in going to Portland, per @TheSteinLine “Holiday remains a Trail Blazer as we speak and, as The Stein Line first reported over the weekend, Portland has conveyed to Milwaukee that it would love to trade for Antetokounmpo directly if it could. Sources say, however, that Antetokounmpo's camp has continued to signal no interest in a contract extension with the Blazers, which would dissuade them from surrendering good assets to trade for him and likely limits Portland's realistic involvement in an eventual Antetokounmpo deal to third-team facilitator status.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)







The Blazers are interested in trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @TheSteinLine “The Stein Line has learned that Portland has also expressed its own interest to the Bucks that it would like to acquire Antetokounmpo ... even as the Blazers realistically understand that it would be an extreme longshot to convince Giannis to sign a contract extension that keeps him in the Pacific Northwest.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)


The Timberwolves have the necessary salary to pull off acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday. Minnesota can offer the Trail Blazers Jaden McDaniels in order to retrieve Milwaukee’s picks. Milwaukee would then receive a package including Julius Randle, salary + picks.

Scoot Henderson was running full-court sprints at the end of practice today. Tiago Splitter says he’s improving but they’re trying to be careful and avoid re-injury.
