Recently, according to a report by Shams, multiple sources revealed that the Cavaliers management has decided to fire the team's coach Bickerstaff, and then the Cavaliers officially issued a statement to supplement the news. Bickerstaff's dismissal came as a surprise, but it made sense, and a lot depended on Mitchell's attitude toward him.

It is reported that Bickerstaff coached the Cavaliers for a total of 5 seasons, during which he led the team to 170 regular season victories, in addition to reaching the playoffs 3 times in 5 years, and broke through the first round this year, which is also the first round series won by the Cavaliers after Lao Zhan left. Not to mention how successful Bickerstaff was, at least he brought the Cavaliers out of the quagmire, and there was originally a 2-year contract with a total of 10 million left, but what mistake did he make with his early exit?

Bickerstaff's out

Regarding the coach's dismissal, someone succinctly said that it probably meant that Bickerstaff was too wide. Specifically, when it comes to manual tasks like training and shooting, he wants to be in full control of each player. In addition, his rotation time has also been criticized by many players. I hit a lot and think I'm too tired. I didn't play much, and I felt that I didn't have many opportunities to perform. But Bickerstaff is more paranoid, and he is used to doing things in his own style.

But after all, he is the manager, and the team management will still give him such space to work. The main point is that Mitchell and Bickerstaff have a disagreement. When Bickerstaff took office, players such as Garland, Allen, and Mobley in the team were willing to listen to Bicker's transfer.

But Mitchell's arrival broke the silence. As the absolute core of the team, Mitchell will say no to the coach on some issues. In the long run, the contradictions between the two sides have become deeper and deeper, and Bickerstaff, who has a strong desire to control, cannot coach Mitchell, and the two sides have reached the point where they cannot coexist, and the team can only replace the coach.

209 million in 4 years, Mitchell's new contract was exposed

Regarding the new head coach, Shams also revealed a little rumor, such as Warriors assistant coach Agenterson, or Pelicans assistant coach and former Hornets coach Borrego, but the Cavaliers need to ensure that their style of doing things must be approved by Mitchell, at least the two sides should not have too much disagreement.

In this year's playoffs, Mitchell played 10 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 38.1 minutes per game, contributing 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals.

But in the second round, they met the powerful Celtic, and the team suffered injury problems. For example, Jarrett Allen and LeVert are sick and can't play, and Mitchell leads the team alone, so it is naturally difficult to support it alone. G4's accidental injury also led to the collapse of the Cavaliers, who finally lost 1-4 to the Green Army and stopped in the second round of the playoffs.

After the game, many media outlets broke the news that Mitchell had played his last game with the Cavaliers, but in fact Mitchell was more likely to stay with the Cavaliers. It is reported that Mitchell has 2 years left on his contract, and there are probably more than 70 million. According to Windhorst, the Cavaliers are leaning toward signing Mitchell to a four-year, $209 million contract extension.

Once Mitchell completes his contract extension, both Allen and Garland will be on the shelf.
