Cleveland Plain Dealer</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"But Saunders thinks he should be free to coach elsewhere and reportedly is miffed by McHale's demands. Saunders believes it will cause teams to drop him from consideration. Saunders interviewed for the Cleveland job, which was a natural since he was born there and still has family living there. But if he doesn't end up coaching LeBron James, it won't be because of the compensation issue. Sources say that Saunders came away from talks with Dan Gilbert thinking that the new Cavs owner has a lot to learn and whomever he hires is going to have to endure some growing pains. That's the same impression that Jackson got when he talked to Gilbert, prompting Jackson to cross the Cavs off his list, too." New York Daily News</div> source
muss Mussleman is the new frontrunner: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"League sources indicate the Cavaliers have stepped up their interest in former Golden State coach Eric Musselman.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j_a_d_e:</div><div class="quote_post">i hope they get Flip....</div> I do too. Musselman couldn't turn the Warriors around, but he did have little to work with, so we'll have to wait and see how it all pans out.
