Bratz joined the Cavaliers as a college and minor league scout in 2000-01 and was recently named director of player personnel. He played nine years in the NBA, including one season with Cleveland. "Mike has done an excellent job for us and is a great fit for his new role," Paxson said. "He can now focus more exclusively on current NBA player evaluation and scouting." Bratz will now oversee all player evaluation, team scouting, summer league and training camp operations for the Cavaliers. Warkentien spent the last 10 years with the Portland Trail Blazers where he has served in several capacities, including director of player personnel, assistant general manager and director of scouting.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
