The Cleveland Cavaliers are gearing up for a busy offseason as they look to address two key priorities: finding a new head coach and securing the future of star player Donovan Mitchell.
Reports indicate that current head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s time in Ohio has come to an end, with Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego emerging as the frontrunners to take over the coaching reins. Both Atkinson and Borrego bring valuable experience to the table, with Atkinson previously coaching the Brooklyn Nets and Borrego currently in the mix for the Los Angeles Lakers’ coaching vacancy.
While the coaching search is in full swing, the Cavaliers are also focused on retaining Mitchell, who has yet to commit to a contract extension. The team remains optimistic about their chances of keeping the talented guard in Cleveland, but trade rumors involving Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen loom large if Mitchell decides to stay.
Regardless of the outcome, this offseason promises to be eventful for the Cavaliers as they navigate the coaching carousel and make decisions on their roster composition. With Mitchell’s future hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on Cleveland as they look to build a competitive team for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
