  Cavs have supposedly also reached out to Byron Scott & Jeff Van Gundy, if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

  If he does accept the job, I expect Eric Snow to be one of his assistants.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Eric Snow would be a great assistant. I would love to see that happen.

  For a guy that returns nearly his entire team in Michigan St., this is a ballzy move. He is looking as a preseason favorite to win a Natl title. You tellin me he has NOT spoken to Lebron???? I say he had to of.

  Over on the RCF, they are saying that Izzo has been "polling" a lot of different people about how it would be to coach Lebron.

  The station that broke this is claiming that another meeting took place today.
  
  Also, looks like Izzo was offered the Bulls job and turned it down.

  Why do you turn down Chicago and accept Cleveland? I wonder if it's soley money? Chicago is paying their guy $3.5 a year I think, and Cleveland is offering $6 million?
  
  I just don't see why he takes it unless he knows Lebron will be around. And I don't see how Izzo makes Lebron want to remain in Cleveland.

  Maybe because Gilbert has ties to MSU?....other than that, I have no idea.

  Money yes...and maybe someone by the name of Lebron James has something to do with it
• thedynasty1998

  

  That's why I said he must know something about Lebron that no one else does. If Lebron leaves, he's stuck with a bad team.

  ^^Bad teams still make the playoffs in the east!!

  Lebron has to be involved in this, despite what Gilbert says. Why the hell would Izzo leave MSU for a Cleveland team that doesn't have Lebron, that's an idiotic move. Not sure why Lebron would want to play for Izzo, but if it keeps him in Cleveland....
• KR1245

  

  Latest from Windy. Nothing new really, sounds like the players think hes gone

  1) $$$
  
  2) LeBron
  
  3) Owner who is an MSU alum
  
  4) EVEN IF LeBron leaves, the Cavs may be a bad team for a season, but it's been said that people look at the Cleveland job as a GREAT one because of the front office in place and the business side in which the Cavs operate.
  
  Gilbert is committed to Cleveland, he's said as much and said jsut a couple of days ago that his #1 goal is to bring a title in Cleveland.
