INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- J.B. Bickerstaff didn't do anything wrong to deserve being fired. The Cleveland Cavaliers just feel like they reached their limit with him.
A day after Bickerstaff was let go despite winning 99 games the past two seasons and taking the Cavaliers into the second round of the NBA playoffs despite numerous injuries in 2023-24, president of basketball operations Koby Altman tried to explain the rationale behind the somewhat shocking dismissal.
Altman praised Bickerstaff's many successes in his four-plus seasons but said he feels the Cavaliers need a new leader.
