The Blazers interviewed Terry Porter for their vacant head coaching position, but they continue to favor Sonics head coach Nate McMillian. According to the New York Times, Portland has offered McMillan an annual salary of $6 million, while Seattle has offered $18 million over four years. McMillan has told the Tacoma News Tribune that he will make a decision by the middle of next week.

If McMillan returns to Seattle, the Blazers will decide between Porter—a former Blazers postseason star—and Suns assistant Marc Iavaroni. Porter would seem to make the most sense given the team's need to reconnect with their fan base, but Iavaorni was courted hard by the Blazers in late June.
