Portland Trail Blazers v Denver Nuggets
Portland Trail Blazers v Denver Nuggets

The Blazers agreed a contract extension with head coach Terry Stotts that runs through 2020 with an average salary of $5 million following their 2015-16 season, when they made the second round of playoffs. Stotts has been coaching at the NBA level for a while, and this extension came on the back of 3 straight playoff appearances for the Blazers - the 3rd coming despite the departure of franchise player LaMarcus Aldridge.

His first NBA gig came about as far back as 1992, when he was an assistant to George Karl on his Sonics teams. His first two head coaching gigs weren't big successes, but he grew into the role as an assistant with the title-winning Mavericks in 2011 and was offered the Portland job in 2012.
