Ty Lue: 'It’s Not About Wins And Losses. It's About Wins And Lessons'

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Ty Lue has no plans for his team to tank after the departure of LeBron James, he told reporters during media day.

This summer, James signed a four-year deal with the Lakers that pays him $153.3 million. The Cavaliers finished last season with a 50–32 record before reaching the NBA Finals and losing to the Golden State Warriors.

"I don't see this as a rebuild at all," Lue said. "It's a new challenge for all, but we're up for the challenge. We will compete for the playoffs. That's our motivation and we will put a product on the floor to do just that.
