They changed player like every season while Lebron was there and yet he could still make a chemistry out of them and go to the Finals. Thumbs up to Lue.
People always taught that LeBron is the coach of Cavaliers lol. They didn't see the contributions and effort that Lue gave to the team.
Firing Lue won't do much for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It really just comes down to how talented your team is. I always thought the role of a coach in basketball is really overrated. I don't think Phil Jackson is a great coach or anything but he always had the best talent on his teams ( MJ, Kobe, Shaq). It's why he was able to win 11 championship rings.
Others might disagree to you especially those
"hardcore NBA fan" . But you know we have the same sentiments a little bit. Yes a respected and good coach is one of they key for a championship team but still the most percentage of it why it became like that is because of the players talent itself.
But on the other hand, those talented players will not fully cooperate to their coaches if they see that their coach can't think of a good strategy or plays. So overall, team talents + good coaching is the key. In case of Cavaliers, their talents are not performing well so the blame will be on coach. Let's see if their future coach will able to extract more of good performance from the current roster.
Bud was amazing at a spurs assistant and he was legit the person people thought would replace pop when he retires but he went to Atlanta which than turned into 60+ win Atlanta hawks thanks to him, now he came to bucks and I can see them actually fighting for a spot at the finals, it won't be easy since it will be Celtics and Toronto most probably but Sixers and bucks are close behind them.
He was considered but unfortunately Pops still wants to continue his coaching profession until now.
