Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups announced on Sunday morning.
The financial conditions of the agreement were not announced for Billups, which concluded the last guaranteed year of the contract.
The movement comes six days after Trail Blazers reached a multi -year extension with General Manager Joe Cronin.
“(Trail Blazers Chairman) Jody Allen, (Vice President) Bert Kolde and Joe Cronin, for years of a constant winning journey to the creation of me as I want to thank me for their beliefs.” He said. He continued: “We are building this team correctly with a defense -minded, hard -toe, competitive culture. I am looking forward to continuing to give Rip City fans a product where they can proud and cheer up every night in court.”
Billups directed Portland to the 35-46 record that entered the season final against Los Angeles Lakers, who visited Portland in the afternoon. Trail Blazers won only 21 matches last season.
Billips, a Naismith Basketball Honor List, has a record of 116-211 as the coach of Trail Blazers during its four seasons. As Koç, he replaced Terry Stotts, who took Blazers to playoffs in eight of his nine seasons.
“The core of Chauncey’s leadership is the ability to create a cooperative culture and growth mentality for our young team.” He said. “We are very happy to extend the contract as the head coach and we are excited to see that his ongoing work has improved our players and transforms this team into long -term success.”
The 48 -year -old Billlups was named the NBA Finals MVP in 2004 and helped Detroit Pistons for the league championship. Between 1997-2014, Pistons, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks were all-Star five times during his career.
