David Blatt: Kevin Love is not a max player

[SwishSquared]

If he meant this as it's being taken, he must know something we don't (Love asking for Blatt to be replaced) or simply Love rebuffing him on coaching, period. I can't imagine even the angriest coach stating that about a guy who could have one foot out the door and expect all will sit well with him.

Or...he doesn't realize Love has a version of a max (and has not yet received a supermax contract yet), whereas Kyrie is the Cavs' "designated player," so he got a special first-time max extension, which he received right before Blatt's hiring. Blah I can't even justify it using that reasoning. LBJ better do some damage control or Love's bolting.

[Lebron23]

might as well make Love come out of the bench

Joke Franchise

Joke Coach. Mike Brown and Mike D'antoni are better than him.

cleveland is a mess at the moment.

first you have lebron taking a passive aggressive shot at his coach when hes supposed to defend him saying "well hes our coach who else do we have" , now this.

no leadership on this team only weak people with no sense of direction. the worst thing lebron did in his career is leave pat riley and dwade. they knew how to win and lead people to success. lebron wrote big letter acting like he could but truth is he never is that guy. blatt is a decent coach but he seems to be same way cant lead or reach the players.

That pompous bitch does that to every coach. Spo included. He tried to chest bump Spo, but riley backed up his guy.

Cleveland need to back up Blatt and control that pouting bitch

[Cactus-Sack]

Mike Blatt is a good coach, he's just been saddled with two "superstars" who make everyone around them worse, and the most beta MVP in history + role-players who were looking to piggyback.

I said this before the season, but Cleveland aren't doing shit with this squad.

Why not? I thought the Lakers were stacked with Hill but the Cavs were shit with Love?

Why not pick up the dude that will stack the team for a championship run?

[JohnFreeman]

Blatt knows he is fired

David Blatt is the cavaliers biggest problem right now. Love and Irving are 18-11 when they played with Lebron.

Teaming up with Lebron is much better than playing with Cancerbe Bryant

[COLOR=Teal]Cavs are back to .500. Blatt distinctly denied he's a .500 coach not too long ago. You really expect him to acknowledge that he has two max players playing for him right now and implicitly bear the brunt of the blame?

He's safe for now but probably knows he's gone after the season is done, unless they win a title or at least make the Finals. He's got nothing to lose at this point, whether he's motivating or taking shots at his team stars.[/COLOR]

[christian1923]

So Blatt expects him to take a pay cut to spend his winters in Cleveland being a third option

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Phil Jackson school of motivating.

inb4 Love becomes a 30/15/8 outlet assists player

Bran is the cavaliers biggest problem right now. Dude won't play, relaxes in MIAMI, destroys the franchises future, demands the max, ball dominant, makes star players to role players

He's still better than Kobe.
