Windy on ESPN Cleveland (summarized):

The Cavs had some meetings yesterday and have more today. Things cooled off and the future of the organization are being discussed. JB and Koby are in these meetings. He expects a decision imminently.


Cont’d:

Look at what is happening with the LA Lakers. What JB did with the Cavs is more impressive than what Darvin Ham did with the Lakers. The Lakers are having trouble finding a replacement. Cavs have to be careful with the coaching market too.


Cont’d:

There are candidates who are preparing to interview with the Cavs because they are seeing there could be a change (they have not been contacted by Cavs). Also, the Cavs are in the East which makes it more appealing vs being in the West. Pay will not be an issue


Cont’d:

Mitchell's feelings towards JB will have an impact on if JB comes back or not. When you ask a star player to sign an extension with a coach on thin ice, you have to consider what they think. A player never wants to be accredited with the hiring or firing of a coach.


Cont’d: 

Nothing has changed in the last week on a Mitchell extension. The new rules significantly impact the Cavs, as soon as the NBA Finals end the Cavs can begin contract extension talks with him. That means nothing can be done for 3-4 weeks.


Finally:

Donovan Mitchell is an expert at PR and everyone in the locker room thinks he will re-sign.
