Johnnie Bryant is joining new Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson’s staff, a person familiar with the hiring told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Bryant, who interviewed for the Cavaliers’ opening before Atkinson was hired, will be an associate head coach, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the addition.
Bryant will be reunited in Cleveland with Cavs All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell They spent several years working together in Utah, and Mitchell has often credited the 29-year-old Bryant with making him a better player.
Mitchell agreed this week to a three-year, $150.3 million contract extension with the Cavs. His commitment came just days after Cleveland hired Atkinson, the former Brooklyn coach who spent the past three seasons as an assistant with Golden State | apnews.com/article/johnnie-br...
Bobby Marks of ESPN has suggested that the Cavs could indeed move Okoro for a bigger wing that better fits alongside Cleveland’s core. He went as far as suggesting that this is something he can’t talk about yet and equated it to the situation with Donovan Mitchell’s contract extension that he knew about before it became official.
From Marks:
Cleveland’s got Isaac Okoro who’s a restricted free agent. Look at maybe sign and trade options for him. Maybe a bigger wing . . . I don’t want to give away the beans here, so keep an eye on Cleveland as far as Isaac Okoro here. . . [The Cavs] are about $9.5 million below the luxury tax. So if you do a sign-and-trade with Okoro, you got to be careful as far as what money is coming back | www.fearthesword.com/2024/7/4...

@mspeedm5849 8 күн бұрын

s/t Okoro is the only play Altman has left. The sad part, is Okoro should be retained, at least until they see what a decent offensive scheme can do to open up his slashing game. We hardly ever saw Okoro on ball in his best roll. Adding that 3 point shot last season says to me, you have to bring him back. They won;t get anyone good for him that makes them any better. See what Kenny can do with him. He couldn't be any less effective than he was for JB playing a defensive only game for the most of it, and odds are he will have a breakout season. Giving up on him now is just like Koby though, get rid of Markannen why don't you.
