The Blazers have interest in interviewing Mitch Kupchak for their general manager vacancy.

Kupchak took over the head job with the Lakers in 2000, but Jim Buss is now the head decision-maker.

Sources close to the situation said Kupchak's latest contract with the Lakers is a lucrative multiyear deal.

Some close to Kupchak believe he would be interested in opportunities outside of the Lakers.
