Cavs Have Been Granted Permission To Interview 2 Coaching Candidates.
The Cleveland Cavaliers parted ways with head coach J.B. Bickerstaff.
Some were shocked to see that happen, as the team had overachieved despite a plethora of injuries.
They had the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference and could’ve even gotten the No. 3 or No. 2 seeds.
They also won a playoff series, and not many teams would’ve stood a chance against the Boston Celtics anyways.
Even so, it seemed like Bickerstaff had already overstayed his welcome in Ohio, and it’s officially the start of a new era for the Cavs.
With that in mind, ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the team has been granted permission to interview two top assistants: Kenny Atkinson of the Golden State Warriors, and James Borrego of the New Orleans Pelicans.
ESPN Sources: Cleveland has been granted permission to interview Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson and New Orleans assistant James Borrego for head coaching job. Cavs are beginning expansive interview process that will include several more candidates.
