    Wow
    I did not expect that at all. Doo Doo must have hit the fan.
    Call Phil Jackson and offer him a boatload of money. Get him here now.

    Since Phil's still coaching in the playoffs for another team, I doubt they could get him in Cleveland now.

    ric bucher(sp?) is reporting it
  • ts1227
    Just broke on SportsCenter. We shall see at the 2:30 press conference
  • lhslep134
    This was step number one to Lebron staying.
  • KR1245
    Interesting to see if this is true. RCF's is blowing up and Windy hasnt confirmed anything yet.

    Why would Phil Jackson leave the best player/winner in basketball to coach the second best player/best non-winner in basketball? And leave LA for Cleveland no less?
  • wes_mantooth
    lol...we will find out in a half hour, but bucher is reporting that this report is false.
  • cbus4life
    Woah, they didn't waste any time.

    Lol, and now it is false according to some...craziness.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Figured it would happen this quickly.

    They said Ferry will be retained. I'm not really sure I agree with that.

    Kobe might be the best winner, but hes only the 3rd best player in the league at this point.
  • KR1245
    Its going to happen at some point

    It's being called false by people inside the Cavs organization, because they have a presser at 2:30--doesn't mean it's false.

    If Bucher is reporting it's false, I'll say it's true. I hate that guy for some reason. He's rarely ever right, but still they put him on.
  • reclegend22
    Maybe all-around stat-wise, but I'll take Kobe's clutch play and determination to win any day of the week over Bron Bron. That, IMO, keeps Kobe at the top of the League. He may not have the assist and rebounding totals that James sometimes puts up, but Kobe is a better scorer, shooter, defender and "final minutes" player. Not to mention playoff performer.
  • Laley23
    They need a proven coach, regardless of LeBron or no LeBron. No more guys like Brown or Silas, etc.
  • wes_mantooth
    Chris Broussard is saying that the press conference will not even be about the coaching situation...interesting.
  • ts1227
    SI broke the story, Bucher is saying the Cavs are denying it.

    We shall see in about 20 minutes if they talk about it or not.
  • Trueblue23
    They need a big name coach

    Good and valid points, but I dont think its fair to call Bron a poor playoff performer. Dude has been CLUTCH many times, just hasnt gotten the championship. He had a bad last 2 games, but he has had WAY more great playoff games (and yes, even clutch final minutes) than he hasnt.

    But I cant argue Kobe as the best winner going right now.

    Overall skill wise he is third on my list though.
    1. Bron
    2. Durant
    3. Kobe

    IMO, Bucher saying it's false is ESPN's way to cover the story that someone else broke and get the coverage of it but then have one of their sources say it's false just in case SI's source is wrong.
