It's kind of crazy how far he fell in a short period of time. He was considered one of the hottest young coaching prospects as an assistant, got the Cavs job in place of Blatt, promptly got considered the "junior partner" to LeBron as far as team authority by the general public and then got canned almost immediately after James left, when he proved he couldn't win games with a roster consisting of basically nothing but complementary pieces sans the superstar they were complementing.

It's pretty evident to everyone, but the FO that it's time for the Cavs to transition to the tanking phase.   They gotta clean the slate, and Lue being let go is a start.  He should have been let go in the off season.  Lebron hid many flaws for Lue, which is what he has done for every coach his entire career.

boom

That’ll do!

NBA is a funny thing. Cavs fire their head coach and best player goes out for a month and they score 136 points and win by 22. 

Told you about Love. He doesn’t impact wins/losses either way. It really doesn’t matter that he’s out an extended period. 

And 17/8/3 for Sexton. Starting to play a lot better. 14 points a game in his last 4 games. 

So Lue was the problem all along   :)

I'm curious who they're thinking for an outside hire?

While that situation plays out, the Cavs had to manage another issue on the team Tuesday with veteran guard JR Smith. For the second time this season, Smith was informed he would be removed from the rotation and not receive guaranteed playing time, sources said. Smith was upset by the news and considered taking some time away from the team, sources said. 

By all means, hit the road loser.

"According to NBA.com's lineup data, the Cavaliers have been outscored by 14.3 points per 100 possessions and posted a woeful 99.8 offensive rating during Sexton's 213 minutes on the floor. Conversely, Cleveland has churned out an offensive rating of 109.4 with Sexton on the bench. "

Like I said, Collin Sexton at 8 is a joke.

Koby Altman is an abomination. Fire his fucking ass now.

^again, you’re a complete moron if you’re jumping to conclusions on 19 year old NBA players 10 games into their rookie season. 

Knew the Cavs should've dumped Love, instead of signing him long-term, when he still had an ounce of value. Now, with this injury, and salary, I don't see many takers. Team is god awful.

Everyone knew this, except for the Cavs' front office.  They legitmately thought this roster had a shot at the playoffs.
