Lindsay Gottlieb’s hiring shows clear vision for Cleveland Cavaliers’ rebuild
Author: Chris Fedor Publication: Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Shortly after capping their miserable 19-win season, the
Cleveland Cavaliers mutually parted ways with head coach Larry Drew and began a
wide-ranging, exhaustive coaching search.
At that time, the Cavs said they would consider anyone. First-time assistants,
retreads, college coaches. They wouldn’t rule out taking the international
route. Again. That seemed the most unlikely outcome, of course, but the team’s
immense respect for Sarunas Jasikevicius at least made it possible. When general
manager Koby Altman was asked specifically about Spurs assistant coach Becky
Hammon, he told reporters not to exclude anyone. All that mattered was finding
the best coaches. More importantly, the best people.
Right or wrong, that’s the Cavs’ belief. If they are going to succeed, it will
be their way. If they fail, it will be on their terms.
There are never any guarantees when it comes to a rebuild. Some teams are buried
at the bottom for years. But the Cavs’ approach has been clear and pointed. The
qualities Cleveland values most have become obvious. Age doesn’t matter. Neither
does race. Same goes for gender. The coaches don’t need to have Cleveland ties
either — a silly narrative that started to form this off-season with some of
the candidates being leaked. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

All-America honors while averaging 28.8 points and 11.3 rebounds. He led the

Tournament title and made the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Division II
men’s tournament.
His play as a senior and career numbers of 2,647 points and 1,165 rebounds
earned Vorhees an invitation to the IMPACT Basketball camp in Las Vegas, where
he worked out for five weeks with other promising college players who have
sights set on careers in professional basketball.
Off his showing at IMPACT’s pro day on May 27, Vorhees said in a telephone
interview, he earned an invitation to work out for the Cavaliers at their

CLEVELAND — The 2019 NBA Draft is one week away, and while the next class of
rookies to enter the professional basketball ranks have to wait another seven
days before learning where they will ply their trades, the league is drumming up
anticipation for the event.
