Does anyone have any questions?

No. Because it's not happening.


If we do get a new coach it will be Ty lue. Because lebron likes him and has a good relationship with him.

Okay FrontPageNews, but John is by far a better coach by a mile than Ty.

Not going to happen again if anything it'd be Lue. I don't think Blatt is going anywhere and if people think he gets no respect just imagine what a college coach would get.

Dude please clean up the spelling of your blog, if you want to be taken seriously, take your writing seriously.

If they hire a guy named John, it will be John Calipari.

David Blatt is the coach.

I hear all of you guys but do you really think that David Blatt is the best coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Best? The Cavs have had Bill Fitch, Chuck Daly, George Karl, Lenny Wilkens, Mike Fratello and former NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown, and as of right now, David Blatt is the winningest coach in Cavs history.

Of course there are more experienced coaches; but the same criticisms were levied on Erik Spoelstra in 2009. Randy Whitman is a well seasoned NBA head coach with extensive experience (600+ games). I'd rather not have him back.

He is a great coach, Cavs players or vets don't give a **** what he says so you can't really know how good he is.
I really think highly of him but he should resign and move to the wolves, leave his drama.

Link is broken. Who are we talking about, here?

Cavs aren't hiring another head coach who lacks NBA experience. It's Blatt or Lue.

Blatt's going to prove everyone wrong. That is, if LeBron gives him a chance.

With how LeBron is, I definitely think Cal would be my top option.

Blatt is solid, but having LeBron's ear is important.

I thought Blatt did a good job last year

Thibs Thibs Thibs Thibs or Mark jackson tell him to keep the rhetoric down though

Because you're not an idiot.

LBS runs the team, Blatt is the ADMINISTRATIVE....Blatt is not going anywhere......

It's plain to see that a) Blatt is not backed by his players and b) Blatt, though he may one day be a quality NBA head coach, is green, perhaps specifically to the NBA game.

In the soccer world, it has been seen that some of the best teams actually play very well after their mastermind head coaches move on. This is to say that, perhaps, a group of good players in team sports can sometimes succeed on proverbial autopilot without the commanding direction of a head coach--it can be in a way a beneficial degree of freedom. Lebron has understood for a while now how to take advantage of his physical gifts to enhance his team's O.

That said, I don't think any Cavs fan should be comfortable with Blatt at the helm. The Heat too had great players capable of individual brilliance, but on SC during their finals streak we were all watching the results of great basketball IQ and spacing, not a barrage of iso talent. He could be a good hc down the line, but that's not enough for Lebron's prime years.

Who am I to judge Blatt? I'd agree with that--I don't have any strategic expertise. But then I'd argue that it's plain to see the difference between Blatt and a slew of other NBA head coaches who clearly have a hand in their team's shape and efficacy--Pop being the most obvious and guys like Carlisle, Budenholzer, or even Stotts, etc. All you have to see is the offensive flow and the communication between coach and player.
