Also said "ESPN is wrong in its report."

Well if true, the Cavs are in complete limbo. Not a good state to be in at the start of free agency.

Yep, LBJ prolly like WTF is going on.

I haven't bought into the off season hype nonsense, but I must say the off season is a bit more intriguing than the actual season LMAO

Maybe I am naive, but I don't believe Shaw, Scott, or anyone else that needs a job would turn down this position. Lebron or not.

No idea what is going on, but the most logical thing was Shaw wanted the job but CLE didn't give it to him.

I really doubt Shaw would have went through all that trouble only to say "no thanks".

How the **** do the Cavs go into the biggest offseason in the history of their franchise and still not have a coach.

I agree, and if that is the case, shame on Dan Gilbert. Especially when its being reported that Scott isn't even in negotiations now.

Unless we are all being duped here and the Cavs know exactly what they are going to do.

Everyone except for Amick is saying that Scott is in talks. This includes Ken Berger, Chris Broussard, Brian Windhorst and David Aldridge.

So either Scott's agent is lying or everyone in the world is being fed false information.

And BTW, Shaw turned the Cavaliers down because he wanted to wait and the Cavaliers did not. So the Cavs moved on without him and Shaw withdrew.

That's why I said they are in limbo. Seriously, I don't know how Cavs fans feel right now, I can't imagine.

Fire the head coach, GM leaves, going into the huge free agency period with no head coach. Crazy.

Marc J. Spears twitted this:

Shaw tells Y! on taking name out of CLE:"I wouldn't be able to meet that timeline. I didn't want to hold things up. I appreciate everything"

Shaw withdrew name this afternoon from cleve. Wasn't comfortable taking job if offered b4 July 1 w/o knowing whether lebron would be there.

Think about it, it's the Cavs man.

Re: Cavaliers to hire Byron Scott as HC? Updated Pg 6

That makes sense...

Can't blame Shaw for wanting to wait and see if Bron will be back, but at the same time Cavs need a coach dearly before the clock strikes midnight lol

Shaw, awaiting Phil Jackson's decision on whether to retire or return to pursue another championship in L.A. next season, in fact came away from the interview process convinced that the Cavs will be able to keep LeBron, said Shaw's agent, Jerome Stanley.

So then why withdraw your name.

Amick:

McInerney now admitting he spoke with Cavs GM Chris Grant today and agreed to re-open negotiations. Can't make this stuff up.

This is just the start, fellas. How appropriate that this would happen tonight...

Re: Cavaliers to hire Byron Scott as HC? Updated Pg 6

The problem is that LeBron wants to make sure there's a good coach, but a good coach wants to make sure there's a LeBron.

Can't have one without the other, but one can't go in first.

McInerney now added to my personal **** list.

Meh, perhaps, but I think Shaw didn't want to get stuck rebuilding and be short changed as a HC.

I think Scott has gone through one before and there is a good chance that he doesn't have to go through one at all.

I wish the men switched their thinking.
