A source with knowledge of coach Terry Stotts’ situation said there’s no reason to believe he’s in any danger this summer, regardless of how this turns out. He was given a contract extension through the 2021-22 season after Portland’s West Finals appearance last season.

Kerry Eggers: Terry Stotts thinks Trevor Ariza will be comfortable in @Portland Trail Blazers offense: “A lot of the actions he’s seen before. Since he’ll be out there with four other guys who know what’s going on, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him. For younger players, it becomes more difficult.”
