- The Cleveland Cavaliers have hired a new Head Coach with Kenny Atkinson from Golden State.
The sides have started work on a contract, and a deal is expected to be reached soon, sources said.
The Cavaliers' process had been pared down to Kenny Atkinson and New Orleans Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego, sources said. Borrego, who worked the past season with new Detroit president Trajan Langdon in New Orleans, is now expected to become a prominent candidate in the Pistons' coaching search, sources told ESPN.
Atkinson, the top assistant with the Warriors, takes over a Cavaliers roster that advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals and won 99 regular-season games over the past two seasons. He joins an organization that includes two key players who blossomed during his tenure as the Brooklyn Nets coach -- Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert.

Good hire can Emoni Bates play the 2 guard in the up coming season ?
Nothing like letting him.not learn anything in the g league jst huckin up shots ttyna get numbers
It's not good or bad. It's Cleveland. You hire someone and hope for the best! You wing it.
Atkinson is gonna UNLOCK EMONI BATES
If Evan Mobley develops a decent 3 the offense is over the top
Ty Jerome gonna make some noise over Craig Porter JR? You're crazy. CPJ gonna be unlocked under Atkinson too
Evan has shown improvement in his shot each year in his incredibly young career so far. HE opened up the Magic series by spacing the floor and hitting some big shots. IT is a no brainer that he is going to develop more and it is even more of a no brainer that Atkinson is gonna use him more and encourage him to shoot more.
This is just obvious to me. Do you guys really not see it that way?
Even JA is gonna hit shots this upcoming season. Just watch. Both guys have good form, good touch and good work ethic. Now they have a coach that not only develops talent, but encourages jump shooting. It is a simple and obvious truth, but apparently you guys don't see it that way. Come back to this comment mid way through next season and celebrate with me...also, don't forget EMONI BATES.
OK, Let's get a F/C in the draft and get Donovan signed up.
I disagree with McNuggets. U can run with this Cavs roster with a mobile JA and athletic Evan. Atkinson played with JA, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Ed Davis, and Carroll. We run to get mismatching in the post as well.
bro I'm sayin it baffles me everyone thinks Mobley is so nice after 2 good games on a back up 5 and al horford lol
They wanted Burago, he didn't want them. So they are trying to act like it was Kenny the whole time.
As someone born in 1963, my most prized possession is a 1948 World Series program
I’m happy the Cavs finally hired their new head coach in Kenny Atkinson! If not Kenny Atkinson it would have been James Borrego. LETS GO CAVS!!
McNuggets is the only one who does his homework and comes on here with any sort of intelligence. These other bums are just talkin nonsense.
Why are these guys so freaking negative? Talking about Dan Gilbert’s legacy without Lebron being terrible as if they didn’t completely tear the team down both times he left? I’d say the most recent rebuild has been pretty successful
Because it has been terrible without LeBron. I guess you like losing in the 2nd round. Before LeBron came Kyrie couldn't even get the team to the playoffs.
Jay is a Lebron glazer, always has been
You guys have no idea what goes on behind the closed doors, you all talk ignorance due to the lack of facts, maybe its was a team decision they don't have to tell you zip but he is our new coach. That is their business not yours or mine. You guys talk weeks and weeks on nothing but coming up with a theme to fill your show and air time, Garland going or staying week after week, does not tell us nothing to they decide to make the decision. Go Cavs!
Crawford is the worst
What are you mad at? lol! It's a sports talk show. Every sports talk show is just people speculating and BSing about things they don't know for sure. What else do you expect them to do, read the future? Don't like it then don't watch.
I was hoping for james barrego damn
This dude is mad that they have opinions and get paid for it lol
This guy's are some clown's, sometimes is hard to watch this show...We have some of the worst media.
Jay talks too fucking much he cuts everyone off and it’s annoying. Why is he always running shit.
Any team would have been trashed after LeBron left the way he left. Id go as far to say you can't even count Dan Gilberts record the years in between LeBron's 1st and 2nd stays here.
Coby is on the clock! Nieg was a terrible pickup
Niang was okay though.
Being with GS, I hope he fits with the new culture and get them to be aggressive
J bush repining that Canton McKinley..💯 👍
Anyone not named McNuggets shouldn't talk Cavs...
Mcnuggets isn't all that knowledgeable lol.
How about the development of Emoni Bates and how is his time in the G league coming around?
I really hope this wasnt just Dan Gilbert chosijg someone and they all collectively chose Atkinson. Otherwise we will never win if we leave all the decisions to one dude w/o influence of others. Anyways i hope this improves our offense.
If Cleveland teams don't do anything they agree with they get all negative and they get so mad😂 if you guys are so good why are you guys not Working for a Organization.😂😂😂
The truth is Lebron said he wanted Atkinson
@paulturk8059 That 🧢 where did u hear it from ?
@@dionandrefrazierHe's joking
@@dionandrefrazieranyone that says "that's cap" doesn't know how to communicate in the first place though
To me it sounds like Altman wants Garland to stay and Mitchell to leave but Gilbert said fk Garland he’s on his way out, this is Spida’s and Allen’s team. Both of them hated JB
What u said makes no sense there doing everything to appease Mitchell if u think the cavs will choose garland over Mitchell your delusional and insane
@@anthonycoon6955 Can you read? He is saying Cavs are appeasing Mitchell
LETS GO CAVS!!
"LETS' ....... so typically succinct. Not even so much as a sniff of a clue ....... Perfect for a basketball fan. Especially a Cleveland fan ........
He will be done in two years. Koby will be gone next year!
I pray to God Coby is gone soon !
I can see this guy starting lavert
Whoa, let's ease off the journalist tag. There are no journalists anyway near this show. No clue.
These guys have no idea what they are talking about.
It’s a shame there’s no other options to get Cleveland sports content from besides Quincey.
Neither do you
@@johnbontea1353 seriously this guy Darin is a clown
@@ShadowSelf216 I was talking about philb lol 😆 he wrote a whole poem
@@drewferd2720There's Mack Perry with the It's Cavalier Podcast. He's pretty good. Tony Pesta does good Cavs content too.
two bigs can't run? I'm sorry are they incapable of running lmao last I checked when bigs run the floor they put tremendous pressure on the rim and that's just one... you can't stop two bigs running the rim lmao and if you do you have to commit everyone to the paint on a fast break which would for sure leave a guard open for 3... and that's only the time when both bigs are on the floor which is like 10-15 minutes anywa
So either Bickerstaff completely lost the locker room or they just wanted to make any kind of change. Other than being an assistant with GS, he doesn't exactly give confidence with his 3 year stint at Brooklyn with 3 years under 500 and the last year as bad as the first.
Bickerstaff was terrible, he's way to soft , so cliche in his "game plans" has no offense. players lose respect for ppl like that real fast
You need to look at that roster he had in Brooklyn. No coach was winning with that roster.
Donovan said he wants atk8ns9n and thats that
canton mckinley guy?!?! no way 👎🏼👎🏼
another developmental coach?
They mean a coach is good at player development
G bush is right we don’t trust u
Can't believe they could not do better than that. I live in the Bay now.
These guys are annoying
Lol anybody who think we gotta good roster basketball IQ can’t be that high we still need to trade garland and nieng we damn near have a G- league team w/0 Mitch and Allen .. Mobley ok but outside those 3 it’s giving G -league team so still need to upgrade our roster
A g league team wouldn’t have finished with as good of a record haha our lack of offensive plays. We ran an open motion offense with one play all season long, if you had any basketball iq you would recognize that. As soon as someone got hot JB subbed them out hahaha you can only go as far as the coach will allow. We got out coached in both playoff series by a large margin. JB made zero adjustments all playoffs, sat the most experienced vet on the roster until the last game and he had 30 pts haha JB couldn’t put a lineup together to save his life. Basketball IQ hahaha you sure you have any?
Coby might be on his way out? He kept JBB wayy too long and also did that dreadful Kevin Love trade and also Kyrie for IT.
Kevin Love trade???
Not taking Luka Draft day trade and imo this Mitchell trade will haunt us
@@Will-lg9ev the Luka trade is astonishing because at the time or a few months later i believe Damon Jones after he left Cavs said on espn that the cavs scouts didnt think Luka was going to be that good in the NBA
Such weird Gilbert speculation
Jason Lloyd said it on 92.3 today bruv
This has Dan's fingerprints all over it. The homeless guy who told Haslem to draft Manziel prob told Gilbert to get Atkinson
Dumbest comparison ever
I live in the Bay and watch the Warriors. He's a re tred Koby on the clock.
Why dont you post this 4 more times
Who should've the Cavs hired?
Mitchell is not worth all this..
“Worth all this.” What is “all of this” ?
I would like to know what all this is too? A new coach? Lol
Dan picked the better coach people are actually mad is funny af 😂😂😂
Better coach with a terrible record ??
@@johnbontea1353 Kenny made the playoffs with a terrible team
Kenny Atkinson will be a fine coach here, the problem is Darius Garland, trade him for Newhardy from Pacers! Levert needs to start, Naign, Pangos, and Orkoro, need to be traded or released! Bates should be traded for a pick this yrs draft, that pick will upgrade the lose of Orkoro. Dan Gilbert needs to get the starting center from Duke, he can do it all and runs fast, he’d be great with Mitchell, Allen and Mobley, and Levert, that’s a serious starting five, then build up a bench around them, trade Strus and our second rd pick to Nets for Cam Johnson, then give Boston our 2025 second round pick for Pritchard, so he can run the point when Mitchell or Levert doesn’t, trade Dean Wade while he’s heathy and try to bring Laury Markennan back, or someone like that, but with girth for posting up. Such a team could compete with NY and Boston. The other alternative is to bring the King back home, they do that and the entire East trembles again because him with Mitchell, Mobley, Allen, Levert, is about as close to the 2016 team we can instantly get, I’m surprised Gilbert hasn’t flown out to la to have dinner with James again…I think Coby Altman is why the call to lebron hasn’t been made yet, Wayne embry brought Mike brown back twice and brown took us to Finals twice, if Wayne was GM he would’ve gotten lebron back here and built it for another great run, Altman is a cheap hired assistant for GM, get a good one and we get another ring!
None of those teams would ever make those trades. 2nd rounder for Pritchard? 🤣😭 Please put the pcp down. Filipowski the center from Duke is fast? Plus, Nets would never trade Cam Johnson for Strus. This has to be a troll post/comment.
I highly recommend them to position betting and prediction videos with likes and comments from real people. Thank you INFLUENCER PANEL
