Reports from Chris Haynes and Marc Stein suggesting that Lakers assistant Jason Kidd is emerging as the top candidate to take over as head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, if Portland decides to make a coaching change this offseason.

Hearing the same as what @ChrisBHaynes detailed here: There is strong buzz in league coaching circles that Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd will emerge as a top candidate in Portland if the Blazers, as many expect, respond to their first-round exit by making a coaching change. https://t.co/APAGwjEiyi
