Chauncey Billups and Becky Hammon likely lead the pack, but Mike D'Antoni seems to be closing fast.
It was still less than three weeks ago, incredibly, that the Trail Blazers parted ways with Terry Stotts. Five additional coaching jobs became available in the interim, incessant whispers of mutual interest, scheduled interviews, internal powers struggle and more filling the void as a whopping seven teams—including Portland—underwent the process of finding a new head coach.
Here's where Portland's coaching search stands as the league's official offseason draws closer and closer—and vacant coaching jobs begin to get filled.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that James' contract tolled last season, meaning he was playing under his 2020 contract this year, which had $10 million guaranteed for skill and injury, and another $10 million reserved for 2021.
In total, James could be out close to $20 million.
The 19th overall pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 2014 draft, James started 16 games in his first and third seasons in the league and 15 games in 2018. Injuries have cost him significant playing time in every other season, however.
Since signing a four-year, $51 million contract with Denver prior to the 2019 season, James has played three games at right tackle for the Broncos.

No Major League Baseball team has won back-to-back World Series titles in 20 years, but the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers head into 2021 as the favorite to reign again in October.
But things won't come easy for the Dodgers. Just two hours down I-5, the San Diego Padres may be baseball's second-best team and primed to challenge their rivals for years to come. Elsewhere in the National League, the Atlanta Braves had the Dodgers on the ropes in a seven-game LCS and their stacked lineup will be out for revenge.
In the American League, the New York Yankees are trying to get back to the World Series for the first time since 2009 but will find it tough to win the East, battling out with the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. And of course, the ever-present Houston Astros who were just one win away from a World Series berth last year.
