    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?

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

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

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

    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 probably banging Lebron's mom.

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

    Circle if strife.

    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.
