NBA: franchises looking for a coach
With these last two outings, there are already six NBA teams that are looking for a new coach to take charge of their respective teams. The Wizards and Pelicans join a roster already made up of the Portland Trail Blazers, the Boston Celtics, the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers.
Boston Celtics, the first franchise to make changes
The first franchise to make changes was Boston Celtics when at the beginning of the month he surprisingly announced that Danny Ainge left his position as general manager and in his role Brad Stevens assumed, leaving the leadership of the team.
Portland also ran out of a technician
Later, after the defeat in the first round of the Playoffs against the Denver Nuggets of Facundo Campazzo, Terry Stotts left office after nine seasons at the helm of the Portland Trail Blazers and they quickly began to transcend their possible replacements.
Steve Clifford resigned from Orlando Magic
One day later, Steve Clifford resigned from the Orlando Magic after three years and the team targeted Stotts to sit on the bench next season, although he is still vacant.
Bjorkgren finished his first stint as coach with the Pacers
