CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HC SEARCH UPDATE: How the Monty Williams firing impacts James Borrego's decision

James Borrego is perceived as the front runner to become the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In seemingly unrelated news, the Detroit Pistons fired Monty Williams yesterday after one season in the Motor City. But with that all in mind, has Williams' firing sped the timeline up for the Cavs to make their hire of Borrego? The Pistons could be aggressive in making their own pitch for Borrego to become their next head coach, meaning the Cavs may need to shift gears and get more aggressive in securing their next head coach.

Cavs going find something to mess up, so it doesn't matter front office always the problem

[@deionowens997]

* Name Monty VP of 🏀 Ops. * Name Borrego HC * Extend 🕷 * Bring n Travers & Diop from overseas * Sign & Trade 🧊 2 SAC w/r '24 1st Rd. Pk. 4 Sasha Vezenkov, SACs '24 1st Rd. Pk. & '24 2nd Rd. Pk.

[@MDOOMBot]

Hiring Kenny Atkinson or Monty Williams would be braindead. There is NO upside to hiring them. James Borrego is (sadly) the only reasonable option. I feel like Koby Altman will make the wrong move AGAIN.

Always taking shots at Watson

Dont forget to shit on jason when deshaun starts balling out. Receipts have been saved.

[@ericdiesel33]

These guys are clueless. They act like the Cavs front office are sitting around doing nothing. In reality, the front office is doing their due diligence on coaches with interviews and references, while also evaluating and hosting draft prospects for workouts, preparing for the draft next week. They don’t need a head coach to help them pick 20th overall. Donovan is currently overseas enjoying summer. There is zero rush, the “deadline” to hire the coach is in July when Donovan signs the extension.

[@ikidd06]

@7:19 You need to know Donovan is signed and to get his opinion on the coach. It's obvious now that they're waiting on the Donovan situation. This coach won't be selected until after July 1st

[@christinekranz4844]

The feeling that im getting from people is that they are losing or Have already lost their confidence in kobe. First with his 'we are just going to enjoy the holiday weekend and Not make any decisions right now.' What? WHAT??!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE A HEAD COACH!!!!! Where are his priorities with this team? Also - Why in the world is it taking this long to name a head coach??? THE DRAFT IS COMING UP!!!! Shouldn't the head coach have some say in That? Also - he needs to Get his staff set up. The assistants are going to be picked over! KOBE!!!! What are you waiting for?

[@OliGrant-sw8by]

Ive long lost confidence in Koby when he BOTCHED the Kyrie trade and NOT demanding JAYLEN BROWN and the pick and instead taking BAD HIP BAD ATTITUDE Isaiah Thomas, malcontent moping Jae Crowder, some Ukrainian center and the pick. Belien signing, Windler signing, Ty Jerome signing, nutcase Kevin Porter Jr signing then as soon as they trade him he drops 50 for Houston. All these moves proves KOBY spends hella time at the bar getting WASTED!

[@sgod5902]

Broooo they using counter moves and uno cards like crazy 😂

[@LearnToWin9638]

If James Borrego wants to be in a better winning position as a head coach then he will go to Cleveland but if he wants to coach for the money then he will go to Detroit 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tomk537]

It might be easier to make a bad team good - than to make a really good team great. Hoping Borrego wants the challenge

[@pnudyfromda216]

Smdh chicken mc nuggets terrible let's go bates

[@darelleverette6098]

Their assuming that they aren’t talking to the candidates about who they would choose with the pick or who they would trade the pick for.

[@kdogglv]

I think they are waiting on Donovan to make up his mind.

[@Kavellda2nd]

Cavs should grab MONTY

[@photonfartsqueeze6694]

I don’t think this speeds up the Cavs timeline. Detroit is in such a hopeless position I’m not sure who would want that job.
