OT Cavs have fired their Coach

[KeepOnRollin]

Coached them to first place (in the East) at this point but he is still axed.

LeBron going to be the first player/coach in many years?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Why?

Is LeBron gonna be the coach?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Tyronn Lue to take over

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Oh, apparently Tyronn Lue is the new head coach. So essentially yes, LeBron is the coach.

 

[THE HCP]

LeBron is going to coach the EAST Allstar team!

 

[jlprk]

Finally. Next steps: Hire Thibodeaux, trade Kevin Love.

What would we give for Love? Sounds like a song line.

 

[illmatic99]

You mean Lebron fired his coach.

 

[TBpup]

LeBron is going to coach the EAST Allstar team!

That raises a good point. Wouldn't he have been the East Coast coach?

 

[PDXFonz]

"Coach"

 

[KeepOnRollin]

That raises a good point. Wouldn't he have been the East Coast coach?

Maybe there is a huge bonus in David Blatt's contract stipulating that if he coaches the All-Star game he gets a nice raise? The Cavs didn't want to pay it so they dumped him! Half kidding...

Would you send 'em Chris Kaman and his pale balding head?
Would you send 'em Meyers Leonard? Yeah, that's what I said!
Would you send a package including Moe and Ed?
I could trade that. Yeah, I could trade that.

Maybe they'd accept Aminu and Vonleh.
Worst comes to worst they'd demand CJ.
Sooner or later, you'll send him away.
I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Yeah I could trade anything for Love.
I could trade anything for Love.
I could trade anything for Love.
But I won't trade that.

Blatt was in way over his head. Here are stats about Love you haven't seen before:

That even rhymes! Good job.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That even rhymes! Good job.

That right there made all the effort worthwhile.

 

[jlprk]

Smile rhymes with worthwhile. Platypus rhymes with...this sucks?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blatt was probably banging Lebron's mom.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kerr comes back, Luke Walton suddenly available, Blatt fired.

Circle if strife.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Blatt had the same chance that Wiggins had to make an impact with the Cavs. I would take LBJ in a heartbeat, but you have to wonder how much his PG's like playing with him. They basically become jump shooters in the 4th as LBJ runs the show. On paper you would think Love would fit in perfectly. But somehow he does not.

How does someone like Blatt tell LBJ to let Kyrie run the show. You need a Phil or Pat to do that.
Apparently.....

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


Why? Why not wait until the end of the season to sign him? He's already under contract.

Cus LeBron said to do it now is why.

The Blazers half way through the season and in play off contention, Trump/Palin 2016 could happen, and now THIS?!?

WTF???? Did I fall through some looking glass/vortex/wormhole/time space continuum? I'm starting to feel like the world really is ending!!!!

Exactly. Plus he can opt-out and I'm sure he's reminding Gilbert of that every step of the way.

LBJ and his agent have been stumping for Lue since last season.

Dysfunction Junction is not going to win a 'Ship.

Just sayin'.

I hope this karma bites Bron's butt.

Going to be some DNP-CD's in the ASG.

Because it's well-known that the owner is the dumbest NBA owner. What a sorry record of hires, draftees, and quick-fix transactions.

See here's the thing... I want karma to get the Spurs worse than the Cavs! I know it's immature and bitter but... oh wait... Go Warriors!!!

He uses Comic Sans. Clearly a sociopath.

Wow, without Irving he's pretty mediocre, but with Irving he's Meyers Leonard.
