The Cleveland Cavaliers knew that they would lose either Jordan Ott or Johnnie Bryant to the Suns, as the two were finalists for the team's head coach position. Phoenix decided to go with Ott, who is already impressing in his first head coaching opportunity.
On the "Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective" podcast, Windhorst said he thinks that the Cavaliers "are missing" Ott. He added, "That's not a shot at anybody."
Ott and the Suns are 8-6 to start the season, and as Windhorst pointed out, they haven't played a tough schedule, but their upcoming schedule is quite challenging.
