Ty Lue just got fired

[tlance]

Interestingly,

4 of the 5 changes have occured during the 4 years and 6 games LeBron was not on the roster.

good laker
bad coach

 

[R.J. MacReady]

When your star player has to sign off on all coaching & player decisions ...it can be difficult.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

LOL.

Now I know you are joking.

I think he was implying that starting 0-6 the year after reaching the finals is inexcusable regardless of any individual talent lost, and he's not wrong.

He did not imply that this was a finals-caliber team without LeBron.

 

[Black Adam]

This is pretty funny.

Um, yep...

 

[trojanfan12]

shocked that it happened.

Did not think Dan G. would want to pay his salary for a team that was not going anywhere.

I am off to watch the Browns game at a buddies.

shocked though. Not sure i see the point. Lue held them together through a lot of rough patches. This season was going no where.

just dont see the point. why pay a guy 7 million not to coach on a team that is not going anywhere anyway?

Yeah, seems like this was about a pissing match more than anything else.

No. This is a lottery team. While 0-6 is not good, it is hardly unexceptional for this team.

Lue was a James lapdog, and now that LBJ is gone, there is no need for him. That’s why he was fired.

Yeah you made a pretty good case against, but I was right.

It's mind boggling how good LeBron is, the Cavs performance this year is as much proof as his rings and MVPs. They lost ONE player and went from the Finals to the worst team in the league. James is easily the #2 all time player and if you argue he's co-#1 you can make an excellent case. He wins a title with the Lakers somehow and that's no longer a question either.

...OR how bad he is at building a foundation.

It really doesn't show how good lebron is tbh

Lebron is great(declining now tho), but that is not why the cavs suck. They suck because they are a custom fit team built around lebron. With no Lebron it's just a bunch of random 3 point shooters and rebounders. There is no playmaker. There was before Lebron ran Kyrie out...It shows that the cavs team last year wasn't great (better than his team now), but Kyrie/lebron/Love was a pretty good team and won a championship.

No.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Even this guy saw this coming...

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I bet Lue is glad to be out of that hell hoe

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Lue was so stressed out he had to take medical leave last year. Now gets paid to stay home

 

[The Derski]

Tristan Thompson: Cavaliers still the team to beat in East without LeBron James

I don't know why you're shocked. He's Dan Gilbert and that's what he does

 

[Bolts]

That's nothing

[Shanemansj13]

He wanted veterans in there, which makes no sense and considering he doesnt teach defense this was going to happen at some point this season. Wonder who is in the running to replace after Drew takes over as interim?
