Pacers finally accept the contract of a high potential assistant coach after decision to…

It seems like Nate Bjorkgren is being considered as a potential addition to the Portland Trail Blazers’ coaching staff. With vacancies in assistant coaching roles after the team decided not to renew contracts for Scott Brooks and Rodney Billups, Bjorkgren’s experience as a former head coach and assistant in the NBA could make him an attractive candidate.

Bjorkgren’s journey through the coaching ranks, from the G League to the NBA, demonstrates his dedication and versatility. His championship experience with the Toronto Raptors and his brief stint as the head coach of the Indiana Pacers provide valuable insights and knowledge that could benefit the Blazers.

While Bjorkgren’s tenure with the Pacers ended after just one season due to reported tension with the team, his subsequent roles with the Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers indicate that he remains highly regarded in NBA coaching circles.

If Bjorkgren joins Chauncey Billups’ staff in Portland, his wealth of experience could contribute to the team’s development and strategy moving forward. It will be interesting to see how the Blazers’ coaching staff takes shape as they prepare for the upcoming season.
