J.B. Bickerstaff’s Job In ‘Serious Jeopardy’

According to both The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, J.B. Bickerstaff’s time in Cleveland could be coming to an end. Despite having back-to-back postseason runs, the front office will evaluate him over the next few days.

Multiple reports have said that the team will take multiple days to determine how they want to approach this situation, whether they want him back, and whether the players want him back.

Currently, the front office is “fond” of him. However, Donovan Mitchell and potentially others are not as excited about Bickerstaff as others thought they were going to be. Let it be known that he is one of the most successful coaches in franchise history.

Cleveland won a playoff series for the first time since 1993 without LeBron James. In his five sessions with the organization, he has transformed them into a playoff-contending team. This season, including the Boston Celtics series, saw many injuries; despite that, they finished with 48 wins.

Plus, the 45-year-old ranks fifth in franchise history in wins (170) and games (329). His contract isn’t up until after the 2026-27 season.

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.
