    Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Terry Stotts and Portland Trail Blazers interim head coach Kaleb Canales are traveling to London this weekend to meet with owner Paul Allen in what will be the final phase of interviews to determine who will be the Trail Blazers next head coach, CSNNW.com has learned. A decision is expected soon after in order to fill out the rest of the coaching staff in a timely fashion. Tuesday, the Trail Blazers finished up round two of the interview process. General manager Neil Olshey and his brass met with Stotts and former Orlando Magic assistant coach Steve Clifford on Monday and on Tuesday, met with Canales and Phoenix Suns assistant Elston Turner.

    Press conference Monday before Courtside? I'm guessing the decision will be made over the weekend and announced Monday.

    Out of the final 4 candidates, I have to say I liked Stotts and Canales the best, so I'm at least mildly pleased these are the two that get the final Paul Allen interview.

    I think Stotts will lead us to the playoffs this year (offensive explosiveness) but I think Canales is a better long term option (more well rounded). So it depends on what we want as management. I am fine with either option so long as it happens soon, for the sake of the team. If it is Stotts, then I hope we retain Canales as an assistant.

    Ditto mbmurr1. That way if the guys dont respond to Stotts, we'll still have KC to handle business. Personally, i think it'll work to keep them both.

    Nah uhhh a defensive center, a backup big either position I don''t care, an experienced wing, without having to give up any draft picks. I''d probably do this but I just don''t know for sure.

    Rebounds are over rated and so is JJ

    I completely agree he could be that voice on the court we need. Lamarcus just isn''t that guy and Damian can learn some on court leadership from him. A small lineup when we need a score bad of Dame, Wes, Paul, Nic, and Lamarcus would be potent.

    Howard is great but his back injury and shoulder issues this year were troubling.

    I mean Damian might have not even been in the same area as them when it happened. Innocent until proven guilty

    I would agree Harris seems more dynamic but Harkless looks pretty good as well.
