On May 24th, Beijing time, another coach got out of class! The Cavaliers officially announced that the team has officially fired head coach Bickerstaff! Cavaliers general manager Kobe Altman said, "Bickerstaff is a well-respected NBA coach, but sometimes it's time to take risks in order to compete for a championship, and we ended up making this difficult decision. ”

As soon as the news came out, netizens were puzzled, why is this? In this year's playoffs, the Cavaliers defeated the Magic 4-3 in the first round, but unfortunately met a strong opponent Celtics in the second round, and the team was full of injuries, and finally the Cavaliers lost to the Green Army with a score of 1-4. Many fans said that this is obviously the team's injury problem, why did the coach take the blame in the end?

According to Shams, Bickerstaff was fired because of Mitchell's close relationship! The main reason is that Mi Qiu has lost faith in him. In fact, Bickerstaff's departure did not come without warning, as it was previously reported that in the game against the Rockets last December, the general manager of the Cavaliers was unhappy that Bickerstaff had played Mitchell for too long and criticized Bickerstaff in front of the entire team.

It is undeniable that the Cavaliers have made significant progress under the leadership of Bickerstaff in recent years! Bickerstaff spent a total of four-and-a-half seasons with the Cavaliers, leading the team to the playoffs three times and leading the team to the first series win without James since 1993. Bickerstaff has won 99 regular-season games in the past two years and has led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals this season.

Bickerstaff has coached the Cavaliers to three consecutive winning streaks and in 2022-23 he had his first 50-win season since 2017-18. This year also marks the first time the Cavaliers have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals since 2018.

At present, Bickerstaff has two years left on his contract with the Cavaliers, totaling about $10 million, which is not a loss! Fans have said that there are really few coaches in the league who can compare to Bickerstaff, and the Cavaliers will regret it one day! Shams then added that Warriors assistant coach Atkinson and Pelicans assistant coach Borrego are expected to be the top candidates for the new Cavaliers coach. What do you think of these two coaches?

The dismissal of the head coach has just begun, and after being eliminated this year, the Cavaliers still have a lot of problems to face, such as Mitchell's contract extension problem, Garland's stay problem, and Allen's trade problem! What the Cavaliers want to do now is to keep Mitchell, the core of the team, and Garland can be traded, as for Allen, he is no longer in the hands of the Cavaliers, he has already taken down the team.

You're not the first! A number of coaches have been fired this season, the most talked-about of which must be the Lakers' Ham and the Suns' Vogel, who are known as the "Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks" by fans. According to ESPN, hiring Vogel and Ham as head coaches is not a decision made by the players, but by Lakers management! I have to say that the Lake management is really difficult to say in terms of selecting people, whether it is players or coaches.

What is the dismissal of the head coach, you must know that the Lakers have fired the entire coaching staff, and no one remains! The American media posted the winning rate of the Lakers head coach over the years, and only Vogel and Coach Brown have a higher winning rate than Ham! It's not that bad to look at Hamm that way. Of course, the worse is yet to come, and there has been more and more news about Redick becoming the new head coach of the Lakers recently, and if it does, the sky will be dark again for the Lakers.

Now everyone is speculating, who will be the next person to leave class? This morning, the Pistons officially announced the hiring of Pelicans general manager Trajan Langdon as the Pistons' new president of basketball operations! The Pistons owner made it clear that he was willing to take the remainder of Monty's contract if Langdon wanted to change coaches. Last year, the Pistons hired Monty for six years and 78.5 million, but the team had the worst record in team history with a 14-68 record.

It's up to you guys in the end, what do you think of the knights firing Bickerstaff?
