Cavs win draft lottery; get 1st pick

NEW YORK -- Nick Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten the NBA lottery odds again. The Cavaliers won the lottery for the second time in three years Tuesday, giving them the No. 1 pick for the June 27 draft.

Gilbert, owner Dan Gilbert's bowtie-wearing 16-year-old son, was on stage for another victory. After he won it in 2011, the Cavs used the pick to take eventual Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving.
"Kyrie is a hell of a player ... but this also felt almost as good," Nick Gilbert said. "That was the first time. This is the second time, but man does it feel good to get the first pick this last time. Get that last player to give us a push."
The Orlando Magic fell back one spot to No. 2, while the Washington Wizards vaulted from the No. 8 spot to third.
Ten years after winning the lottery that landed them LeBron James, the Cavaliers picked up another opportunity to help speed up the rebuilding process since his departure to Miami in 2010.
The potential No. 1 pick this year, Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel, is no James. But he could be a nice addition for the Cavs once he's recovered from a torn ACL -- if they keep the pick. They also have Nos. 19, 31 and 33 for new coach Mike Brown, who they rehired after firing Byron Scott following a 24-58 season.

Q&A with Mike Brown -

Reporter: How do you think of this team?
MB: Man, this team changed ALOT since I left, it's amazing.

Reporter: How do you think of the Cavs rebuilding?
MB: You know, it's a tough task, but I think we can get through it and even make the playoffs this year, or next year.

Reporter: Do you want Ben McLemore or Nerlens Noel?
MB: I really want McLemore, but we already have a SG Dion Waiters, so Noels can be the capable center.

Reporter: What do you think of Anderson Varejao now and then?
MB: Then, he was developing. Now, he is a really good rebounder. The problem is that he gets injured too much.

Reporter: How much does Kyrie Irving mean to you?
MB: Oh man, he means alot! I'd never trade him even if he was 40 years old. That kid has talent. He's more valuable to me more than LeBron.

Reporter: Do you think LeBron will come back to your Cavaliers?
MB: I don't think so, because Heat will most likely keep him forever. It would be funny to see LeBron back in Cleve, they'd be all booing or cheering him, it'd be ironic.

Report: Cavs agree to sign Darius Morris, Darius Johnson-Odom, and Samardo Samuels.



Cleveland, Ohio - Mike Brown has agreed to come to the Cavs for 5 years. What's next? They signed Darius Morris and DJO, whom those players were familiar with Mike Brown on the Lakers. And Samuels is coming back to Cleveland for a reunion with a Cavs. Darius Morris said, " I'm happy to play for Mike Brown once again, and I think I'll get more playing time here since this team is rebuilding." DJO said, "I haven't been on the Lakers squad much, but I already knew Mike Brown in that short period of time, and it's nice to have him back." Daniel Gibson and Anderson Varejao are the only players whom Mike Brown coached the Cavs before he got fired in 2010.

Coach Mike Browns' Corner

Top 3 Scoring Options:
Kyrie Irving
Dion Waiters
Tristan Thompson

Currently Developing:
Tyler Zeller
Dion Waiters
Tristan Thompson

Current Lineup:
PG Irving
SG Waiters
SF Gee
PF Thompson
C Varejao

Looking to bench Varejao and/or Gee to give other players a chance (Tyler Zeller, Marreese Speights, Darius Morris)

If Darius Morris does good on D and O, he will be given a chance to start over Gee and go small in the lineup.

Looking to go small in the lineup at some points in games and the season.

Re: Mike Brown's return to Cavaliers | NBA 2K13 Coaching Association

November 8, 2013 - Practice

MB: Alright guys, we're going to test out some you guys to see who will play more and who'll start, so we will have some 5v5 Practice, and some Shoot Around.

*an hour after*

Alonzo Gee: Ahhhh!! AHHHHH!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

MB: What Happened?

Alonzo Gee: I don't know, my leg hurts alot after I fell down!

*The Trainer quickly runs to Gee*

Trainer: Oh man, it looks like a Torn Hamstring!

MB: Well, how long will the recovery take?

Trainer: It will take 6-8 weeks for Gee to heal.

MB: What?! This is practice, we can't lose him for that long, we have only played 3 games in the regular season.

*Gee exits the practice facility*

MB: Guys, Gee has been injured, I know it's bad. I want someone to replace him, I'm looking at CJ Miles, Ellington, and Morris.

*Miles, Ellington, and Morris all get excited*

MB: Well, I'll have to think this through, it'll be tough, we'll have to go small ball.

*Players are done practicing, they go back home*

Morris: (talking to himself) Man, I really want to start to replace Gee. I feel like I can, I feel so pumped. I want to show coach that I can do better here than in the Lakers!

*Mike Brown wakes up at 2 am*
*Mike Brown calls Darius Morris*

MB: Hello?

Morris: YO! Who is calling right now?!? I'm sleeping!

MB: Darius, it's coach Mike Brown.

Morris: Oh sorry, what's up?

MB: Look I was dreaming at night, and I felt you could really replace Gee in the starting lineup, I really gave a lot of though into it.

Morris: Nice, thanks Coach.

MB: Don't get too excited, today (November 9) is game day, so at morning I want you to come the earliest at the arena.

Morris: OK I'll come at 3 PM

MB: Nope, you have to come at 9 AM, and show me you can start, you can get breaks in between to rest.

Morris: Ughhh, OK fine, I'll show up.

*November 9 at morning*

Morris: Well what do I do?

MB: Just practice on passing, shooting, defending and do drills.

*Meanwhile at 6 PM, 1 hour before game time*

MB: Wow, I have been really impressed with you! I will start you at SG tonight, shifting Waiters to SF.

Morris: Wow, thanks coach.

MB: Remember if you do bad this game and one after, I won't let you start.

Morris: OK Coach, I'll try my best to get out there, and WIN!

MB: Thats what I am talking about!

*7 PM - It's Game Time and announcers are announcing starting lineups*

Kevin Harlan: Kyrie will start at the point, Darius Morris will start at the SG, wow! Waiters will be at the SF, Thompson at PF, and Varejao at C. How do you think about Morris starting, Doris?

Doris Burke: Well Kevin, Mike Brown told me that he was impressed by Morris in practice, and that Brown knew Morris could do good, Morris is known do be a good On Ball Defender.

Re: Mike Brown's return to Cavaliers | NBA 2K13 Coaching Association

POST GAME: Mike Brown's views on Darius Morris

Reporter: How do you think Darius Morris played tonight?

MB: Oh man he is a monster at Defense! He limited Paul George to 3-11 Shooting, and Morris is 5-6 inches shorter than George!

Reporter: How about him offensively?

MB: He is OK offensively, you know, he had 11 pts. He is a pretty good shooter. He's a good passer, too, he had 4 assists along with 2 steals. I can see this guy as a future star.

Reporter: Will he keep starting for you?

MB: Definitely, he will stay at the 2 guard spot. If he suddenly takes a hit and struggles, I'll look to start someone else.
