J.B. Bickerstaff Fighting For Job; Almost Fired Earlier This Season

Could five seasons be the max for head coach J.B. Bickerstaff in Cleveland? According to reports, one executive in the NBA believes the Cavaliers were close to firing him and that they are evaluating their playoff run to make a determination.

Despite having this organization turned around from when he started to now, the lack of playoff success and this regular season’s collapse have the front office concerned.

The expectations are either making it to the Eastern Conference Finals or fireworks starting. These “playoff demons” need to be shaken off for Bickerstaff to continue to prove his worth to Cleveland’s Dan Gilbert and Mike Gansey.

Bickerstaff is 168-158 in 326 games with Cleveland and 1-4 in five postseason games.

Multiple Teams Interested In Trading For Isaac Okoro

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets are interested in trading for Isaac Okoro.

Okoro signed a three-year, $38 million extension with Cleveland on September 14th for those who don’t remember. That’s important to note because Charlotte and Brooklyn were both interested in him before the deal was even signed.

Now that it is signed, it can be an official sign-and-trade for the 23-year-old wing.

Both teams need an energetic, athletic wing player to complement their roster. Last season, Okoro averaged 9.4 points off 49.0% from the field and 39.1% from deep.

Marcus Morris Expected To Sign With Either Sixers Or Cavaliers

According to multiple reports, Marcus Morris has finalized his selection to either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams had him on their roster last season.

As Morris heads into his 14th season, the 34-year-old can either re-sign with Cleveland or return to Philly. Either way, he wants a contract that isn’t centered around money but on a meaningful role.

In 37 games with Philly, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 12 games with Cleveland, Morris averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.
