Dawn Of A New Era - Cleveland Cavaliers (2k12)
Dawn Of A New Era
During the 2010 offseason, the Cavaliers fired head coach Mike Brown, along with most of their coaching staff. General Manager Danny Ferry resigned on June 4, 2010 and Assistant General Manager Chris Grant was promoted to replace Ferry. On July 1, the Cavaliers hired former Los Angeles Lakers guard and former New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets head coach Byron Scott as the 18th head coach in franchise history.
The Cavaliers spent the rest of the 2010 off-season rebuilding their team after James' departure. On July 23, they signed 2009 first-round pick Christian Eyenga. On July 26, the Cavs traded Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ramon Sessions, Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second round draft pick. On July 30, the Cavaliers signed free agent Joey Graham to a one-year, veteran's minimum contract with a team option for a second year. On August 16, the Cavs signed undrafted Jamaican rookie Samardo Samuels to a three-year, $2.3 million contract. On September 20, Jawad Williams and the Cavs decided to resign and reached a one-year $1.02 million contract. After finishing the 2010 pre-season with a 6–2 record, the Cavs decided to waive Danny Green[7] and sign with the undrafted rookie Manny Harris, the Cavs also decided to exercise the fourth-year option with J.J. Hickson.[8] On November 18, the Cavaliers sent Christian Eyenga to the Erie BayHawks, the NBA D-League affiliate.[9] On December 27, the Cavs decided to waive Jawad Williams[10] and assign Samardo Samuels to the NBA D-League.[11] One day later, the Cavs signed Alonzo Gee.[12] On January 1 and 2 the Cavs recalled Samardo Samuels and Christian Eyenga, respectively, from the Erie BayHawks.[13] On February 24, 2011 the Cavs made two trade deadline deals, acquiring former All-Star Baron Davis and a 2011 first round draft pick from the L.A. Clippers, which wound being the number one pick in the entire draft, for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon in return.[14] The Cavaliers also sent a 2013 second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Luke Harangody and Semih Erden. Leon Powe was waived to create roster space.[15]
On the court, the 2010–11 season was a stark contrast from the previous two seasons. The Cavaliers were conference-worst 19–63. This season also saw the Cavs lose 26 games in a row, which set an NBA record and tied the 1976–77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the longest losing streak in any American professional team sport. The Cavaliers had upset wins against the Los Angeles Lakers (57-25), Miami Heat (58-24) and Boston Celtics (56-26) during the season.[16]
Having the second-worst team record in the 2010–11 season, the Cavaliers had high odds of winning an early draft pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. With owner Dan Gilbert's 14 year-old son Nick representing the team at the dias (quipping "What's not to like?" when ESPN reporter Heather Cox asked him what he thought of his father calling him "his hero" due to overcoming health problems), the pick received from the Clippers in the Mo Williams/Baron Davis trade was what became the top overall pick, even though there was only a 2.8% chance of it happening. The Cavaliers original first round selection ended up as the #4 selection in the draft. The Cavs became the first team since the 1983 Houston Rockets to have two picks in the top five in the draft. The Cavaliers took Duke guard Kyrie Irving with the first pick, even though he only played 11 games in college. With the 4th pick, the Cavaliers selected Texas power forward Tristan Thompson.
