Can anyone field this one?

I know the story is that LeBron James was not consulted on the decision. I find that very hard to believe. I don't think that franchise makes any moves without LeBron's approval.

The word is he was losing, if not already lost the locker room.

Even with a coach change - I do not see them beating Golden State or San Antonio in the finals. I may even take Oklahoma City over them.

Lebron is simply the best baller of his generation. You take him away from this cavs team and Love and Irving are the best of a mediocre bunch. I do like Mozgov but the Knicks castoffs will once again sink this ship. As to the coach, sometimes you just gotta shake your head. Why wouldn't they hire a guy with NBA experience. That part of the learing curve would already be there. By the time Blatt caught up he had already lost the team. The difference between European athletes with their socialist attitudes are a far cry from our narcissistic superstars. That alone would sink most coaches.

Blatt was hired to couch young players. He was hired before LeBron was there. LeBron coming back to Cleveland changed everything.

He also fell out of favor with management. They didn't feel he was relating to his players as well as he should.
