Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixYS
Blatt took most of the blame for Cleveland's weaknesses the last two years. Pressure squarely on LBJ and the players now.
Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixYS
Ty Lue a sharp, rising star as an assistant but not sure why the Cavs rushed to give him a multiyear deal. Close bond w/LBJ likely a factor.
Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA
CLE is 30-11 w/ Kyrie having missed most of season, Moz recovering slowly, Shump missed games, etc. Predictable end game, bizarre timing.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA
Since last season, LeBron James and his agent Rich Paul have been strong advocates of Lue becoming head coach, league sources tell Yahoo

I wonder if James's career would look any different if he hadn't tried to play GM so much?

James is such a DIVA. Everyone knows he got Blatt fired. Blatt will be hired by someone ASAP.

The Cavs GM sounded like a total dick in his press conference. |

was just thinking this. I guess Love will be gone after this season. You can tell Lebron doesn't like playing with him.

It's weird. The best passes that Lebron receives are the outlet passes from Love leading to easy dunks. But lebron is just to busy with his own showing off and celebrating his dunks.
The Cavaliers are not going anywhere if they dont use Love more now Irving is back. Heck even JR Smith is taking more shots right now and we all know that JR is going to choke under pressure in the playoffs..

NBA coaches are not happy about the Cavaliers’ firing of David Blatt
Quote: |
Dallas Mavericks Coach Rick Carlisle, who spoke on the matter for more than five minutes Friday evening, had some particularly harsh words.
“It’s a shocker. It’s just a real shocker,” Carlisle told the Dallas Morning News.
“He’s done some phenomenal things adjusting to this league. I’m embarrassed for our league that something like this could happen. It’s just bizarre. Now is Tyronn Lue going to coach the All-Star Game? It just leaves you with a bit of an empty feeling. Because Blatt’s a great guy and he did a great job there.”
San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich expressed similar remorse, though he sounded a more jaded tone that suggested he wouldn’t be surprised by anything anymore.
“All of us in the business know how it works,” Popovich said before Friday’s Spurs victory against the Lakers. “We all feel badly when it happens to a colleague. [Blatt] is a heck of a coach [but] circumstances often dictate what happens to certain coaches that have nothing to do with their record.” |

Heat minority owner says 'LeBron screwed us badly'
Quote: |
"LeBron screwed us badly," Katz said during a panel discussion, via Bleacher Report. "We made the wrong decisions because of LeBron James — he told us to draft a point guard (Shabazz Napier) who didn't meet the expectations, but we chose him because that's what LeBron wanted."
James has been accused of getting David Blatt fired as the Cavaliers coach on Friday despite owning the best record in the Eastern Conference. Katz said James tried to do the same with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
"David Blatt's main problem was LeBron's attitude," Katz said. "I sat courtside during all the games Cleveland played in Miami. I was a few feet away from the Cavaliers' bench and I heard everything.
"With the Miami Heat, LeBron James — before and after his four seasons when his contract was up with the team — made it clear that he wanted to dump head coach Erik Spoelstra. At one point, (Heat president) Pat Riley called LeBron into his office and said that no one will tell him how to run the organization. Riley told James that Spoelstra is his guy and that firing Spoelstra is out of the question. That was the main reason LeBron returned to Cleveland." |

"It sucks," James said. "But what can I do about it? I've never, in my time since I picked up a basketball, ever undermined a coach, ever disrespected a coach. You ask any of my little league coaches, my high school coaches, coaches I've played for in tournaments, camps, my NBA coaches. I've always respected what they wanted to do. And I'm not the owner of a team, I'm not the GM of a team. I'm the player of a team.
"People get it so misconstrued because I'm a smart basketball player and I've voiced my opinion about certain things, which I did when I was here my first stint with Paul Silas and Mike Brown. Which I did in Miami with Coach Spo [Erik Spoelstra]. Which I did with Blatt and I'll do with T-Lue. And at the end of the day, they'll still have their final call." |
