Why? 
 
I mean, I don't know anything about how he coaches but they are in first place in the East, correct? 

 

[elcheato]

If they hire Mark Jackson I'd consider finding a new team 

 

[elcheato]

Does Blatt still get to coach the all-star game?

this whole situation is weird. definitely feels like lebron fired him . already have a multi-year contract for lue signed, the minute blatt is fired.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

LeBron will coach the east like he did the Cavs

 

[elcheato]

The David Blatt tell-all book is gonna be lit 

 

[buzzy]

Did he fuck Lebron's mom? What happened?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's pretty bad

 

[Teagz]

This is funny

 

[elcheato]

Rich Paul workin overtime tonight to deflect the blame off lebron 

 

[snipezo]

great pr move.

 

[snipezo]

in all seriousness, though. i think blatt would have been a better fit with a team that has a young roster. He's probably going back to israel though.

And Dan laughed at me when I said lebron had full control of this team....

 

[Iceman]

He probably never coached anyways because Lebron ran the team.  They lose because there are too many solid players and not enough minutes. Still very strange that they fired him at this point in the season.  There has to be an inside story that will eventually come out, IMO

he doesn't, and you still said he's the GM making trades and negotiating contracts, so you're still wrong

He has more power than any player in the league, but he does not have "total control"
