There was a final strawn. My job is to broker what i know and i am enter the locker room a lot and i knew that there was a disconnect, the lack of spirit that i cannot accept. Halfway through the season, i think we have the time to right the ship and it sounds crazy with a 30 and 11 record, with the schedule that was reasonably easy. A and im judging more than just the wins and losses. M can you walk me through the procedural part c and when you talk to david blatt and we didnt tyronn lue find about his promotion . I saw to tyronn lue today after speaking with coach blatt to let him know the decision tyronn lue i said i do not want it to be interim coach, i seen some details mentioned in the contract that is not in place. E we talked about, i do not want it to be interim wanted wanting to lead the franchise. Most importantly he believes and the staff assembled, the leadershipo on the bench and he is excited. I have the first brought into the facility and i told them the decision and we have gone from there. Should simply talk about stability over the years and was there any concern, to elevate from associate, how decision square we have had continuity over the lastwe 18 months andla great leadership in the locker room, we have a great Coaching Staff because we the group is experienced and close as a unitnd in terms of the way they dealt with game planning. I do feel that we will be gainingh in areas that were critical. That you talk to lebron james before the decision . And if not , what was his reaction squareti i do not talk to any of the players before the decision, it is critical for me for everybody to understand this was my decision, i had a conversation with the ownership got the approval to make the move, im not not taking taking a pull myn job is to lead the franchise in the late and the what i did. Do not ask anybodys opinion, i am in the locker room, ive done this a long time and i know what it is supposed to feel like and i do not need to ask questions. You mentioned regression over a period of time was that marshall this season . Wa as of late obviously buy a ticket back to the finals last season was there a regressionla back then that makes you think of making this move at the end of last year . Though, i saw a galvanized group, is important it is important to take into account, a great deal we have risen against adversity we are good in that, that gives me a great believe that adversity to be overcome. In fairness to coach blatt as soon as i believe that we were at the point thatch i do particular reason. Ii you mentioned, being unable to handle prosperity early, as did you have anything that you might have to access earlier and that you want to see how the team played played at. What can i factor that play in the decision claiman af did not have a soft prior to our coming together healthy,i because when faced with the adversity of injuries we were very good,, i want to see when we had a full roster and i think they staff was spending a lot of time analyzing that and look at what we were doing, came in and get out in terms terms the terms of the small plates, the attention to detail that may not show up in box scores. It is also that i had a notion of it becoming. Statement that i was sorry that i had to stammer through that with this happen rather quickly,hr we have a group of people who answer the question each night with eachhpe decision made that are we doing the besta that we can do to deliver championships . And i always argued that we were and when i i reached the decision that cannot do it then it is a really simple formula. Was reaction from the players , probably cannot give individual but overall . Think we have a group that understands what is at stake and a group that likes coach blatt quite frankly and again, because i did not take a poll i did not know but it was a surprise one of 30 and 11 record,. We have a jobs and we had a fairly businesslike group. You could make the argument that things were worse after last season, to talk about the tension between a player and a coach, a why did you pursue another season and do that at this junction stud of the offseason i think that it was a function of a lack of familiarity, they were said about different things, upset that we do not have enough talent and thats on me, i felt like we dolt to improve the roster and i think that we do that is to at the question spent unprecedented amount of money to build the team and theyve been win games and my thought is that with continuity, which it perceives as attention, it is really relative not knowing each other really well and i want to see what would look like if we do a hand if they been better, times the times of prosperity been not cannot need to do this in the finals we were the best version because guys made the decision early,inre not a lot of reticence they were excited to get back to work to think the thing that we all were thats why the, thats why the timing was what it was. Can you explain how the conversationon went with dan gilbert, was a surprise, but he says this was coming . Think the first time he came out it came out that he was his perspective, it was hard to fathom in terms ofc our record and i think he understands that we make this decision for the right reasons, the process in decisionmaking. And i think that at the the finals if anything it brought trust in what we are doing. I really appreciate greatly appreciate the trust ownership has shown us. I i know you said you did not take a poll and then not talk to the players butut given the history of the game, and a notion outme the notion out there that lebron james is kind of a coach killer,ou i dont know if you can speak to that or. I certainly cant. Ive got a problem with this narrative and those of you who have been with us for a while understand thatt lebron james plays with his wants to bring a championship here , he does not run this organization he is about this and he is of this team and of the community. This narrative that somehow weni take direction from him, it fr is just not fair, not fair to him and not fair to our group. Im not somebody who believes that she did not talk to the family before makingth decisions ive talked to many players, of many to that manager that changes the locker room, this is what do i do not need to ask what i have seen them interacting for a mom. Her time under different circumstances. Know that when something is not right, what it looks like in that this was the right decision but it is possible that it was not the right decision and you.
