    I agree. I am tired of searching through all newspapers and forums to find out what's the lastest development and rumor.

    David Aldridge hit the nail right on the head. The guy knows what he is talking about.

    I love it. Every time somebody brings up Silas, people snap back with "he's a player's coach" "he'll go easy on Steve and Cat," "blah blah, I couldn't tell Silas apart from John Thompson yet believe me when I tell you Silas is a player's coach!"

    Then here comes good ole DA and tells it like it is:

    3. The Cavaliers should hire Paul Silas. Cleveland isn't going to win for a couple of years, even with LeBron. The Cavs need to start building a foundation, create an atmosphere where players want to be around and have a sense of team and pride. Silas is the perfect guy for that. He treats his players like men, but he doesn't take any garbage from them, either. He'll handle the discipline just as he did in Charlotte/New Orleans. And -- this is going to be sacrilege, I know -- the most important player for the Cavs remains Big Z, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, not Bron Bron. It would help him to have a coach around who knows what a big man goes through. Lenny Wilkens succeeded in Cleveland. Silas is Lenny with muscle.
