If Cavs falter with Lue and don't advance to the finals how much blame with fall on Lue.

LeBron finally got his way. Cavs won't make the conference finals. This is why Cleveland can't have nice things.

Did Lebron want a black coach?

Assuming Lebron was the mastermind here, am I being contradictory by thinking I 100% love the player having this much power and actually putting his power to use, but also thinking using said power right here to have Blatt fired was pretty absurd and makes Lebron look bad?

After trashing LeBron and his crew so badly, Gilbert probably agreed to be a cuck and let them run things if LeBron returned. I think LeBron is still a bit immature and he or his handlers love to scapegoat people, but if Blatt lost or never had the respect of the locker room, I guess they had to make the change.

Hopefully the masses will see though the smokescreen and blame LeBron.

I can't wait until the press asks him about it and he says he had nothing to do with the move.

What a coincidence, Lue's first game as coach will be when the NBA returns to network prime time television in decades (ABC)

What I don't understand is why they didn't just place the interim tag on Lue.
A 3-year deal? What if he doesn't even make the Finals? Then you fire him and have to pay him even more money. The Cavs are already operating over the cap. I would imagine they don't enjoy just throwing even more money around.
Just seems stupid to me.

How long have been making plans to pull this off when you have Lue with a 3 year deal hot and ready to go.

I hate to be the one to say it but, I live about 30 miles south of cleveland and it seems to me Lebron wanted a black coach. I think Lebron/his handlers are big time racist. It also explains why he does not get along with K Love at all.

I don't agree with this at all... Bron just wants to win. No matter the color of the coach or who is playing on the team with him...White or black....And I also think this is not the proper place to bring this up....

If he hates KLove so much why did he meet with him this summer to convince him to sign long term??

I hate to break it to you but like I said I pretty much live in Cleveland and the local take is the division in the locker room is along racial lines. LeBron and his guys wanted Blatt gone and a black coach. Some of the same stuff happened last year. Certain players sandbagged and hoped Blatt would be fired last year. I would bet a dollar to a doughnut either Mosgov, Love or Delly will be traded if not more than one of them.

Golden State fired a successful Mark Jackson and hired Steve Kerr, race issue?
Posted on 1/22/16 at 7:22 pm to shel311
Mark Jackson didn't make it to the finals and lose in game 6, while 2 of his starters who were All Stars were on IR.

Sandbagging their way to the finals? Holy shite.

If you listened to Cleveland local radio for as long as I have, you would understand that they are fricking idiots and you take what they say with a grain salt.
