Should the Cavs Even Keep Kenny Atkinson If LeBron Signs?

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Anthony replay Danny Cunningham's take defending Kenny Atkinson as coach for a potential LeBron-led roster, then debate whether the Cavs' three Hall of Fame-caliber players actually need a tougher voice rather than a "player's coach." Ken raises the comparison to David Blatt getting swapped for Ty Lue after LeBron's first stint, questioning whether the team's apparent lack of urgency in the Eastern Conference Finals reflects a lack of respect for Atkinson. Anthony counters that Atkinson isn't the problem, noting the Cavs still made the conference finals despite injuries and that most reporters expected him to keep his job. They close by noting LeBron has historically avoided the "coach killer" label, meaning a coaching change tied to his arrival would be a delicate, unlikely move.
