I'm convinced we not hiring a coach until after FA seems like a bad move to me.

Cleveland Cavaliers hire David Blatt as head coach (slideshow)

The Cleveland Cavaliers have hired former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt to replace Mike Brown.

Edit: looks like 4 years and a little less than 20 million

Derek Fisher is making more than someone who actually has decades of experience as a coach and led a team to a medal in the Olympics. ****ing Derek Fisher.

My only worry is that there ends up being a disconnect between Blatt and all these young guys. Hopefully that's not the case though.

For what it's worth, this guy Schu doesn't like to put himself out there like this. He's NOT a 'Broussard' type.

Is this what your talking about?

Come on man, I just posted no more of these without links.

To be clear, this is stated in the TOS.

Rumors/Hearsay/Agendas/"If you don't know the answer, shut up"
If someone posts a question, and you don't know the answer, don't reply. Don't post some rumor you heard somewhere. If you don't know a fact, you don't post. Period. Any spreading of rumors/hearsay/agendas will be dealt with immediately.

Obviously in the NBA there are going to be a ton of rumors going around, we all know that.

Lets just post links and even twitter posts with the sources name so everyone can know where it came from, its not hard.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

There is a link, but it's in his Facebook page. Why he has it there, I have no idea. I also figured not everyone has a Facebook page in order to view it.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Glad to see guys like Messina and Blatt finally get their opportunity in the NBA after being successful in Europe.

Just hope the Cavs are patient with him this time than they were with their last 2 hires.

Don't worry, the Cavs always have a back up plan...

First of all hope this isn't too serious of an issue. Seems like a hardworking guy, at least until the last year or so. Kind of seems like when he got the franchise cornerstone talk he went off the rails. Hope it was a fluke season.

That said, I know the issues here, but if I'm a contender with a good locker room I'm definitely trying to buy low. If I'm OKC for example I'm looking in to him. Ibaka/Sanders frontcourt would be absurd. Worth the risk.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

for those of you not reading the draft thread

Steve Kyler ✔ @stevekylerNBA Follow Hearing Lakers and 76ers have been talking about dealing involving the #7 heading to Philly. Unclear what comes back to LA

Russillo ✔ @ryenarussillo Follow
More Embiid fallout. Lakers could move Nash and #7 to Philly for MCW and T Young. 76ers would take Exum at #3.

It would probably cost them Reggie Jackson and one of their first round picks if I had to guess considering he's been involved in rumors for the #7 and #8 pick already (with Brandon Knight included as well, but still).

Edit: I don't really buy this article saying there's no interest in him considering there's been tons of reports to the contrary. Milwaukee won't sell him for a Penny on the dollar.

Kyler sucks. I doubt MCW gets moved. Wouldn't surprise me if they try to move Young and something else for 7 though.

Milwaukee badly wants another top 10 pick as well. Hammond had apparently fallen in love with someone in the 5-9 range.
