The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had a start they would have liked. Tyronn Lue reportedly was fired due to the team not being competitive and him playing veterans over younger players in meaningful minutes, and the team has started 1-8. On a positive note, though, the team ended their reported stalemate with acting head coach Larry Drew, as the two agreed on a deal for the rest of this season and partially into next, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Drew will be the head coach for rest of this season and has an agreement for 2019-20 if Cavs choose to keep him — or will get a buyout payment should team decide to move on to a new coach, sources said.
