J.B. Bickerstaff didn’t do anything wrong to deserve being fired. The Cleveland Cavaliers just feel like they reached their limit with him.
A day after Bickerstaff was let go despite winning 99 games the past two seasons and taking the Cavs into the second round of the NBA playoffs despite numerous injuries in 2024, president of basketball operations Koby Altman tried to explain the rationale behind the somewhat shocking dismissal.
Altman praised Bickerstaff’s many successes in his four-plus seasons, but feels the Cavs need a new leader.
“Someone with a new approach, someone with a different voice, a fresh set of eyes to help us move forward,” Altman said Friday. “We’ve accomplished a lot in the last few years, getting to a conference semifinal and we don’t want to be complacent.
“We feel we’re not far off.”
Altman said he and his staff will use the holiday weekend to decompress before reconvening and beginning their first search for a new coach in five years.
Jason Lloyd joins the UCSS panel to break down Cleveland Cavaliers GM Koby Altman's press conference. What does all this mean for the future of Donovan Mitchell and was it possibly Donovan Mitchell who wanted JB out?
