Jason Lloyd told Jeff Phelps how the Cavs’ final decision to hire Kenny Atkinson was made
as bgo interviewed he sort of became the name that was out there that was everywhere it was bgo bgo bgo and last week on I think it was Wednesday we got the feeling it was gonna be James bgo and then Kobe uh in the front office met with Dan Gilbert and then suddenly Kenny Atkinson was back in the fold and here we are today why would suddenly Kenny Atkinson be back in the fold well because Dan Gilbert is the chairman and owner of the team and he likes to pick the head coach and that’s not to say and I I want to be clear on this because in the past he’s gone Rogue and done things that the front office was like oh my God what are we gonna do now I don’t think this is and we know who those guys are yeah it was like Mr Black yeah well you didn’t go all the way back to 2010 like the the aggressive pursuit of Tom ISO that was all Dan and then Tom turned him down state of Michigan State and Dan turned to his front office at the time and said go get the best guy and they got Byron Scott and then in 2014 uh he flew across the ocean and went and found David blat did that all on his own and John beine went and they had all these sat down in the living room right yeah they had all these guys they were interviewing they were all young upand cominging assistants and then Dan’s like nope John beine that’s our guy and the front office said oh my go and when they when he said David blat that’s our guy they said okay well we got to have someone in place to sweep up the pieces when this thing implodes and they went and got tyo and one worked and it worked and then when he said nope John beine that’s our guy they said okay well we got to have someone to sweep up the pieces when this implodes and it was JB bicker staff and that worked I don’t so whoever’s hiring the second guy by God they they’re nailing it Jason but I don’t put this in that category this is you know Kenny Atkinson is a is is a logical candidate to be an NBA head coach he has NBA prior coaching exper head coaching experience like this is to not to that extreme but I do believe that this was Dan wanting a certain guy wanting a particular guy and you can link it back to the Tom ISO relationship with with Tom and Kenny and you know I don’t know that I know that’s out there I have not been told that I just want to be clear on that but hey Cav’s got there

who is an more incompetent owner , Jeanie Buss of the Los Angeles Lakers or Dan Gilbert Cleveland Cavaliers? Lakers,have had 7 different Head Coaches since Phil Jackson in (2011). Cavs have had 8 Head Coaches since "11". 😳
They must have really thought Bickerstaff was losing the locker room or did something behind the scenes. Or they just wanted to make a change for sake of making a change. Because this is not an upgrade bringing a guy who was under 500 3 years in a row with Brooklyn, and the last year as bad as the first, winning 28 games.
