In firing David Blatt, the Cleveland Cavaliers made one of the most shocking decisions in recent NBA history. Blatt led Cleveland to the 2015 NBA Finals and, at the time of his firing, had the Cavaliers off to a 30-11 start—a record that had the team at No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.
With the wound still exposed from the Cleveland dissension, Blatt is now on the radar for the New York Knicks’ coaching vacancy.
It was reported on April 20 that New York’s coaching search had been cut down to two candidates: Blatt and Kurt Rambis.
