[Mr. Jabbar]

whats next, bran deciding the next NBA commish? :facepalm

[Beastmode88]

Does Lebron want Durant and Curry too? :facepalm :facepalm

[SwishSquared]

If they (or just LBJ) want to dump Blatt, at least get Mike Malone. Somebody who can at least have a fighting chance tactically in a playoff series.

[Heavincent]

:roll:

Cavs are already dysfunctional, so they want to bring in a guy who actively tried to create dysfunction in GS?

[Eric Cartman]

Destroying Cleveland from within, flawless execution by lbj so far :applause:

[HurricaneKid]

DEAR GOD. AWFUL COACH IS AWFUL.

GM LeBron almost done destroying legacy of player LeBron.

[Lebron23]

DEAR GOD. AWFUL COACH IS AWFUL.

GM LeBron almost done destroying legacy of player LeBron.

Any NBA coaches is better than Blatt right now.

[salwan]

bitch gonna bitch :applause:

[hawkfan]

The Cavs are still paying Mike Brown under his contract (12-15 mil?)
And if they fire Blatt then they owe him around 15 million for the next 3 years.

Can't accuse Gilbert of being cheap.

[NattyPButter]

not the Jesus freak

[HurricaneKid]

Blatt is a FAR better coach than Jackson. He just doesn't have the support of the franchise (LeBron). They aren't running his (superior) sets. They aren't playing defense. Whats going to happen when Jackson, who doesn't grasp the basics of todays NBA defense "Rim protectors are overrated" takes the reigns.

I see it happening and its a train wreck.

[G0ATbe]

First Wiggins, then waiters, now a great coach in Blatt:facepalm . Only a matter of time before LeBald turns on Love and Kyrie if he hasn't already.

[rezznor]

i'd love for jackson to go to cleveland just to witness the power struggle between the front office, owner, jackson and james

[Nastradamus]

The coach is fine in Cleveland and everyone needs to chill. They're 18-12 with Lebron and will only get better, as teams that with a bunch of talented players that need to adjust to each other usually do

Agreed

This team will get it together by the playoffs

and at WORST make the NBA Finals and go to 5 games.

[Crimsonrain777]

i'm just gonna sit back and watch. this shall be pleasant to the eyes:applause:

[Done_And_Done]

Whatever it takes to pull him away from commentating

[Kidbasketball20]

Jackson with the Cavs would be a top 5 coach.


He motivates and unites the TEAM (not management)

i have no doubt he'd make them the winner's in the East

[jzek]

Hope this happens. Blatt may be a good coach but we'll never know because he has no resume to tell LeBron what to do. He's simply a glorified cheerleader on the bench. Nobody listens to him except for rookies.

At least Mark has played NBA ball for a long time and won ROY and has proven himself as coach in GS.

[StephHamann]

Mama there goes that x's & o's

That might not be entirely true.
From what I'm hearing, it sounds like he rubbed a few feathers the wrong way while in GS

He sure pissed Bogut off, amongst others. Mostly those who were not OK with him preaching to a professional basketball team.

[Marchesk]

Cavs need saving ... :applause:

I somewhat agree, but he has done some weird shit at times as well. I don't think it's fair to ignore the Cavs record without Lebron either, because Cleveland does have 2 other "superstars", there's no way they should be 1-8 without Lebron, while in the East.

[Nash]

Isn't Woj usually always off when it comes to Lebron and his camp?

[swagga]

what does he have against white coaches?

[JebronLames]

goat gonna goat

[VengefulAngel]

Sorry, I don't take Woj articles seriously when it comes to Lebron James, he hasn't written a positive piece on him in his career and there is well documented rift between Lebron's party and Woj.

This is complete garbage speculation.

His feuds with Bogut and Barnes are now public. This is a ridiculous and baseless statement.

He led this year's best team to a first round flameout with the same roster and led the offensively gifted team to a #12 off rtg.

[JT123]

Did anyone actually read the article? :facepalm
It offers no new information, just speculation that has been going on since before the season started.
OP with a very misleading thread title. :no:

[HOoopCityJones]

Woj goin in on Bron stans.

[JT123]

Blatt is a better coach based on what exactly? :biggums:
If the only problem is Lebron not running Blatt's "superior sets" then why was Cleveland's offense so shitty in the games Lebron missed? If the team isn't playing defense then that means Blatt is unable to motivate players, which is not the sign of a good coach.
People insulting Mark Jackson seem to have forgotten the state the Warriors were in before he took over, making the playoffs one time in a span of almost 2 decades. Jackson's teams always played defense. Blatt has proven nothing at this level.

[sportjames23]

Does Lebron want Durant and Curry too? :facepalm :facepalm


You know he does.

For real doe, if this is true...damn. I swear, Lebron would have been eaten alive if he played in any other era. :facepalm

Barnes???:wtf:

[MP.Trey]

Did anyone actually read the incredibly biased & opinionated article? I see no facts, just speculation and complaining.

See my earlier comment, Woj is completely biased towards LBJ and uses no facts whatsoever in this article.

[R.I.P.]

I can already imagine the first conversation between Kevin Love and Mark Jackson.

Mark: Hand down.....
Love: YES Sir!!!! I

[KyleKong]

Wojnarowski has been criticized by media critics for his reporting on NBA player LeBron James, being accused of having an apparent bias and relying on anonymous sources.He was listed #1 in Sports Media Watch's Worst of Sports Media 2010 as a result of this criticism

http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2010/12/worst-of-sports-media-2010/

Just saying.

[miggyme1]

Agreed

this might be the dumbest post ive read ever.....at WORST u got them going to the finals??smh..im done....

rat poison.

[HOoopCityJones]

Woj is blacklist with mainstream media because he doesn't kiss LBJ's ass? Color me surprised.


Ironically he's all of their "sources" when ever shit goes down. Especially Chris Broussard.

[Mr. Jabbar]

jackson aint even the coach yet and lebald is alrdy pushing him..

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

I never had a problem with LeBron, but he is really proving himself to be a piece of sht this season.

[HOoopCityJones]

See my earlier comment, Woj is completely biased towards LBJ and uses no facts whatsoever in this article.
Woj freely puts his opinions into some articles, so sometimes there are not as fact-based as his twitter feed would lead some to believe. He's the best for trades and signings, but wouldn't be surprised if his connections for reporting this kind of stuff aren't as valid.

Not sure how much of this is true, from the recent article. I think Griffin is intent on not making a coaching change this season, and definitely not for Jackson. He picked a tactician coach over a motivational guy. Shame that none of the vets respect him enough to run his sets so we could actually get a feel for how it looks against NBA defenses. Kyrie/LBJ/Smith/etc freelancing won't get them very far. At least Love's been supportive publicly and Kyrie's mostly had his back in the press.

[ralph_i_el]

DO IT
The cabs couldn't get any funnier. They need to make a movie about the incoming explosion. Bring in JR smith??? Bring in Mark Jackson??? Trade all the young assets, then take mid season vacations.

This is why you don't let someone who didn't go to college make personnel decisions for your team. It has nothing to do with PLAYING ball. If Lebron was born 5'7", there is no way in hell he'd be a GM....but because he can ball, all the sudden he can judge player values and team composition?

[funnystuff]

From an Israelic Jewish coach, to a full on Jesus coach. :applause:

[pauk]

Read it and still dont understand how "Lebron and CO are pushing for Mark Jackson for head coach"? There are zero quotes or proof of any such indication..... just a random sportsanalyst trying to make ends meet....

[PsychoBe]

jackson aint even the coach yet and lebald is alrdy pushing him..

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[bagelred]

Maybe Blatt should just quit. Save some face. This shit is ridiculous.

[bluechox2]

lefail cant play his game with blatt so hes purposfully trying to get him fired by losing games on purpose

[dreamwarrior]

Lebron just wants to bring someone in he knows he can boss around, like Kobe does to Scott and Melo is doing to Fisher.

[DaRkJaWs]

Well I don't like blatt because he is pro-Zionist and pro apartheid, so I can't say he doesn't deserve this.

This:lol

LeBald is an uneducated small di.ck beta. He has no business playing GM.
It's hilarious how hard he has screwed the Cavs this season though:roll: :roll:

[BigMacAttack]

Cleveland are so ****ed. You dont let the inmates run the asylum even if it is Lebron James. Get his opinion and let him feel involved in personal decision making(for his ego) but **** retain some control as management.

Cleveland is at .500 halfway through a season and they have traded away their future, and the 2 superstars(LBJ, Love) traded it away for arent even comitted beyond this season! Cleveland are so ****ed if they cant turn this season around quickly.
