Brown Excepts Offer

Mike Brown agreed to reunite with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he hasn't played there since Lebron was there and all of his five seasons LeBron took him to the play-offs. That might not happen this time around.

Brown will be payed 20 million dollars for a five season deal, this time it might be hard to coach a team with out any star quality. Kyrie Irving shows potential and so does Dion Waters, but there has been competition for that point guard spot and there is not dough that it is Irvings.

The first time around, Brown was fired after the Cavs' lost to Boston in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, shortly before James decided to leave Cleveland as a free agent.

"I'm happy for him, very happy for him," James said Tuesday before Game 2 of the Heat's first-round series against Milwaukee. "I think he's a really good coach, very defensive-minded coach. It'll be good for the young guys that they have."

I have to agree with LeBron, Mike Brown is a great coach to have and he has proven that and he might just turn around the Cavaliers for next season.

Up and Coming Star

Kyrie Irving is starting to be the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since, that team does not have much talent then, he is sure to be the best on their team for a while. Even if they do get a high draft pick which is most likely.

I think that Kyrie isn't just the best player on the 'Cavs, but possibly the best second or first year player in the NBA. I say this not just because of his leading 32 points in the rising star game on Friday or because he will appear in the all-star game, but because he can score points and be a team player and a scorer.He averages 23.5 points per game and he averages 5.5 assists. Also, he leads his team with 35.3 minutes per game.

So do you think there is a rookie or a second year player better than Kyrie Irving? I don't, but I want to hear what you have to say so post your opinion in the comments.

A "Block Buster" Trade

There is what could be the biggest trade of the whole season. Since the off-season not many players had switched teams. Also not many trades are going to top this one since it is later in the season. Now the Memphis Grizzlies have made a block buster trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The trade consists of future first round draft pick in Jon Leur.

The Cavaliers have made many trades since the leaving of now Miami Heat star, LeBron James. This time they are going after a big man in Mareese Speights. Also Josh Selby and Wayne Ellington will be packing their bags and fliing from Memphis to Cleveland. Speights has not been playing very well this season he averages less than 7 points and less than 5 rebounds. Maybe with more playing time in Cleveland that can change. Ellington and Selby are having the same types of slumpy seasons with Ellington averaging only 5.5 points per game and Selby is even worse averaging with only 2.0 points per game.
