Cavaliers’ management dismissed the initial reports that Mike Brown was fired last week. As it turns out, the reprieve was only temporary, as Brown was officially given the boot on Monday.
The 2009 NBA coach of the year amassed an impressive 314-177 record in five seasons, but was doomed by two straight early exits from the playoffs.
Brown’s dismissal only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the Cavs organization this summer. As you may have heard, franchise player LeBron James can opt out of his deal and seek greener pastures. His contract status looms over every decision the franchise will make this summer.
