Assistant Ty Lue has agreed to a multi-year deal as new Cavaliers head coach, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[fertygo]

Cavs is a fucking joke, wtf even problem with Blatt

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Cavs just got better.

I don't think so.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Another ex Laker getting a chance at head coach. GL Lue

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

This would have never had happened in Miami 😈

 

[SyenceLabb]

Guess this David Griffin presser will confirm the multi-year deal with Lue if true.

 

[Stat Flow]

Blatt will be Kerr's assistant next year.

 

[Gully State]

Blatt will be Kerr's assistant next year.

I would love to see what kind of wrinkles Blatt could bring to the Warriors offense...

 

[Uno Venova]

Man, imagine dismantling a team so bad they fire their coach.

 

[Tom Penny]

James was not consulted before the Cavaliers made the move to dismiss Blatt and was informed of the decision Friday, sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst. The decision to fire Blatt was "entirely" up to Griffin, the team's general manager, a league source told ESPN.com.

Oops BadAss2961 beat me to it..but my reaction was identical

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

David Blatt couldn't get get the team a championship in January so he was let go.

Damn, shitting all over the "locker room".

 

[darkside31337]

David Griffin: "I'm not leaving an unprecedented team payroll to chance"


... he just replaced a guy who had never coached an NBA game before he was hired with another guy who had never coached an NBA game before he was made HC.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Thibodeau becoming coach of the Cavs would be his ultimate revenge on Bulls management but I don't think he'd want to coach uncoachable players like LeBron and Jr. Smith.

Plus, he'd have to spend overtime teaching D to Kyrie and Love.

From
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!

[SyenceLabb]

So he denied reworked Tyronn Lue contract.

 

[Jack Remington]

LeBron would probably be a great NBA commissioner after he retires. Dude seems to be just as good at making calls as Stern was.

 

[ISOM]

^

Lebron PR is working overtime.

 

[darkside31337]

So when is David Griffin getting fired? Him getting the axe would have made more sense than Blatt.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Byron Scott still has a job though. I wonder if Lakers will keep him same time next year.

That would be longer than D'Antoni and Mike Brown tenure combined and they were more successful lol

 

[Starphoenix]

Cavaliers are a joke. Please, someone from the East take them out just for the humor of it all.

I can't handle the Spurs and Pats winning the same year. Any team in the East other than the Cavs getting swept not even close. Raps are the Hawks of last season.

Please KD or Curry save us.

 

[Jarate]

I was looking at some stats, and noticed the Frank Kaminsky is having a pretty good year. Remember when ya'll thought he was a stiff!

Remember when people freaked out because the Hornets took him instead of Winslow?

If that means the Raps can make it past the first round I'm all for it so people can shut up about it.

 

[fertygo]

Winslow still better pick

his offense is rough as hell but his defensive presence already great

Better hope Peyton and Von do their job then so you only have to worry about one of those teams.

 

[Jarate]

The Spurs at least havent cheated

 

[detectiveconan1]

Feel bad for Blatt, but I'm sure he won't have any issues finding work. I'm also glad Riley didn't let Lebron fire Spo after 2011.

I find it kind of ironic how Chris Bosh is the only healthy starter right now. Hopefully we don't get blown out tonight on national tv.

[Tom Penny]

GS did Blatt Dirty. It's all their fault.

 

[catpurrcat]

Would be hilarious if David gets a job with Golden State as assistant coach, or some sort of "director of player personnel" job where he gets to face lebron.

That's where he was supposed to go before he got offered the HC job with the Cavs.

Cavs Fire Blatt

What.

Cleveland deserves everything they get and don't get.



But thanks for keeping Blatt off the Warriors. Steve Kerr has kinda worked out.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Riley should hire Blatt as an assistant, then the Heat take out the Cavs in the second round.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Now he just has to figure out a trade for Kevin Love

 

[nillah]

Cavs ain't fucking around.

Terminated a good head coach... Blat will find a job else where

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Kevin Love is on a fair contract, Tristan Thompson's contract is the new Joe Johnson contract as far as I am concerned.

 

[alr1ght]

Their contracts will look cheap come the cap increase next year.

 

[Messi]

Wait, did we really resign Josh Smith????

 

[alr1ght]

traded back to Houston for some Euro player's rights.

So I've just started watching a bit of basketball recently, and didn't realize there's a female announcer? That's pretty cool. Even if Doris Burke sounds like a bit like a hip old person trying to stay "with it"

Careful now User33. Don't be talking shit about Doris.

Talking shit about Doris is considered treason around these parts.

 

[Starphoenix]

Blatt should join Pop in San Antonio. Could always use another foreign coach.

 

[Fjordson]

Doris is bae.

 

[Big Baybee]

Anyone watching magic/hornets? Good shit

 

[Bread]

Cs held on, it's a miracle! Thomas is so damn good.

 

[Cybit]

Now he just has to figure out a trade for Kevin Love

I will steal Zach Lowe's trade and add a little.

Cleveland sends Kevin Love to Detroit & heavily protected 2nd rounder to Phoenix
Detroit sends their 1st rd pick (next two maybe?, but both are lottery protected), KCP, Ilyasova, and Marcus Morris
Phoenix sends Markieff Morris into Cleveland's trade exception. (and gets him off the team)
