    Why hasn’t Tillman fired Ty Lue also?

    Well then let's get Kevin Love. Full tank mode for Cavs.

    The road to Lebron’s HOF induction will be paved with fired coaches.

    Not sure why the Cavs had him there after Lebron was gone.

    He was only there because they are "required" to have a coach?

    Lebron told him what to do, what to eat, when to go to bed, which kids ride to take at the amusement park, etc etc

    LeBron leaves, you go back in the gutter. You're nothing without him. Why didn't you fire Ty after LeBron left?

    Lue still owed roughly $20 million on the contract he signed in 2016 after the team won the title.

    Sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that Lue recently had a disagreement with general manager Koby Altman over playing veterans. Altman preferred that Kyle Korver and JR Smith be taken out of the rotation to give time to younger players. After one game in which they didn't play, Lue put both back in the rotation without consulting Altman.

    Owner Dan Gilbert has also encouraged more playing time for rookie Collin Sexton, sources said. He is averaging just 23.5 minutes per game.​

    He isn’t no coach. Most likely his last head coaching gig. Have you ever seen him draw up a play? What is his coaching philosophy? Defensive minded? Triangle? Nope. He is lucky he made a few more millions to let LBJ coach and run the team. Was a terrible “NBA” player that couldn’t pick up on offenses around the league. Hints his MANY teams he played for. I’d put Moochie Norris as a head coach way before this fool. I mean look at the face he is making above. That’s his face on the daily. In other words. No one will miss him.

    Lucky guy! He still get to collect his $20 million and doesn't have to work with a horrible owner like Gilbert. We all knew he was Lebron's hire and was going to get fired anyway after Lebron left.

    Tilman might be poor and broke, but we haven't heard him do horrible things like horrible owners such as Gilbert and Dolan. Who wants to work with horrible human being like Gilbert or Dolan?

    Only Lebron coach that hasn't been fired is that Philipine guy in Miami. Survived Lebron even though he demanded the Philiphine guy be fired, but Riley refused.

    Walton next to be fired as part of Lebron's legacy

    Opportunity knocks. The Cavs will probably have a fire sale, which means the Rockets can probably get players at a discount. Morey has done some of his best work in times like this. Lets start looking at the Cavs roster and imagine ways to poach their roster and to bolster ours.

    Lue would be a good tank commander. I guess he isn't trying to tank hard enough. People were saying how lbj was holding love back.

    Earl Watson got fired 3 games into the season last year. And now Lue 6 games in.

    Look, if you want to make changes, fine. But doing something THAT EARLY, just make the change in the offseason. Read the tea leaves.

    What were the expectations for the Cavs this year?

    My only conclusion I guess is Lue wanted to play vets to win games and the Cavs wanted the young guys getting some burn. Otherwise, what is going on?
