Coaching searches in Cleveland are like road construction: There’s always something going on with either the Browns or Cavaliers.
This time it’s the Cavaliers searching to replace Larry Drew. General manager Koby Altman is running the search, and though he says he will look to outside candidates, it would not be a surprise if he ends up choosing someone who has past ties to the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers want to accelerate their rebuild after finishing 2018-19 at 19-63 – tied with Phoenix for second-worst record in the NBA – one year after playing in the NBA Finals a fourth straight time. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

The Rock?
The FieldHouse?
The Launchpad?
The newly named Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse eventually will get a nickname, though gaining one as simple as "The Q" might be a taller order than finding a little-used reserve who is as revered as the retiring Channing Frye.

Realistic Contract Extensions For Clarkson, Thompson, And Dellavedova For Cavaliers

During Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman's end of season availability on Friday, quite a few things were discussed with the media about what is next for the team this summer. Among them included the team's upcoming head coaching search, the growth of Collin Sexton and Cedi Osman, the 2019 NBA Draft and a few impending roster decisions.
This summer, Nik Stauskas and Marquese Chriss will be unrestricted free agents and David Nwaba will be a restricted free agent for the Cavaliers. Out of the three, Stauskas and Nwaba are the most likely to be back in Cleveland this summer, with Nwaba landing a multi-year extension and Stauskas getting a team-friendly "prove it" deal. Meanwhile, Tristan Thompson ($18.5 million), Brandon Knight ($15.6 million), Jordan Clarkson ($13.4 million), John Henson ($9.7 million) and Matthew Dellavedova ($9.6 million) will all be expiring contracts on July 1 - making them eligible for contract extensions with Cleveland. Altman left the door open on Friday on possibly extending a few of these players, but will likely not seriously engage in discussions until after the draft and a new coach is hired. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
