My guess is the Cavs are going with the Brad Stevens model. Excluding the obvious age difference, I think they are seeing Beilein as an excellent X's and O's guy with a system built for the today's NBA who can work with young guys. Unless Lebron is going back for a third time, the Cavs are probably committed to building through the draft along with Sexton and Osman.
