The Hall of Fame player has had a frustratting run in Portland.
It appears possible that current Portland Trail Blazers head coach, on the cusp of his fourth season with the club and fourth season as a league head coach overall, may be interested in moving on after his current contract expires at the end of the 2024-25 season., the Hall of Fame point guard seemed to suggest some unhappiness with his present situation during recent appearances on a pair of podcasts hosted by two of his former All-Star forward colleagues, Rasheed Wallace and Carmelo Anthony.
"When I took the job, literally when I took the job, it was a veteran-laden team. Melo was actually still on the roster," Billups noted. "I really took the job thinking that I was going to be coaching him. He was actually on the roster at the time." "So you know with Dame , and CJ , Nurk {Jusuf Nurkic]... it was perfect for me," Billups continued on Anthony's podcast. "So I'm thinking, 'Okay, a few moves here and there, I'm coming to elevate things.' And very quickly it changed. Three, four months in, the guy that hired me, Neil Olshey, gets fired and just everything kind of changed. Now, we're rebuilding, we're young. There's beauty in that too.
