Cavs Rumors: Larry Drew, Front Office in 'Peculiar Stalemate' over New Contract

The Cleveland Cavaliers and acting head coach Larry Drew are mired in a unique contract dispute.

According to ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst and Adrian Wojnarowski, the sides could be headed for a "peculiar stalemate" given Drew's desire to have his contract adjusted for serving as the interim head coach following Tyronn Lue's firing this week.

Drew commented on the situation Tuesday, saying: "There are no updates, which I'm very disappointed about. I'm going to be professional and I'm going to do my job. It's been close to 72 hours."

Cleveland won its first game of the season Tuesday when it beat the Atlanta Hawks 136-114 with Drew at the helm.
