    Looks like Vanterpool was the only one who was OK being named. https://hoopshype.com/2019/01/05/rumor-behind-scenes-inside-life-nba-assistant-coach/

    This was interesting. Who is he talking about?

    BTW, there's a ton more in that article outside of that quote. Worth a read. I never realized how taxing this job can be. Also interesting how conventional our team's setup is compared to other teams'.

    Jk, but maybe not. Leonard doesn’t really seem like the guy that would ignore coaching. Who else could it be?

    DV will be a head coach soon in this league. Much respect for him around the league.

    Vanterpool has been with the Trail Blazers for 6 and a half seasons. This player could have left us 4 or more years ago. Trob isn't a bad guess. I will go with Batum.

    Early in the article he mentions working mostly with Dame, CJ, and Evan. My guess is Evan.
