    Gonna be interesting to see how Kyrie handles being the 3rd option, I've never seen him play off the ball before, and he's gonna be doin a lot of that now

    Nah son, if anything Kevin Love is gonna be that third option a la Chris Bosh. Besides, Love can play off the ball better while crashing the offensive glass and spotting up for threes.

    Kryie has some of the best ball handling skills in the league. The ball will be in Kyrie hands nearly as much as LeBron.

    Love is a better and more efficient player than Irving. Love didn't go to Cleveland to be a third option, better believe he and Lebron had a convo about that

    And if they did better believe lebron was like, "? if u don't get yo ass on somewhere" love ain't got no pull like that vs lebron and kyrie, I agree that he'll be a third option, 18 & 10

    Report: Like Calipari, Bill Self rejected head coaching position with the Cavs

    The Cavaliers wanted to make a splash this summer.

    And they sure did, signing LeBron James and trading for Kevin Love.

    But before either player joined Cleveland, the Cavaliers tried to make that splash with their head coach. They turned to the college ranks, where coaches are the stars of programs and carry huge name recognition.

    At different points, Cleveland was linked to Florida’s Billy Donovan, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, Kansas’ Bill Self and Kentucky’s John Calipari.

    The Cavaliers’ pursuit of Calipari drew the most attention, though he downplayed it.

    Self also downplayed his interaction with Cleveland:

    We visited about the job. At no point in time was there any serious discussion about anything. We visited in general but no serious discussions about it or anything like that.

    But perhaps the discussions got more serious – at least on one end – than Self admitted.

    Brian Windhorst speaking on ESPN:

    "They offered this job to Bill Self of Kansas. They offered this job to John Calipari at Kentucky and a huge contract, reportedly over $10 million a year. They both said no.

    If Self turned down the job, I wonder how much he’s kicking himself now. I’m sure he’s happy at Kansas, which pays him well."

    The only thing I know about the Cavs, is that Lebron is going to be the 1st option and will have the highest usage percentage.

    I honestly don't know who will be the 2nd and 3rd option between Irving and Love. The good thing is both are highly skilled players who can shoot, so they should seemingly move to their new roles with little to no problems. Irving will definitely have to cut down on the over-dribbling (stop wasting shotclock and playing hero ball) and improve his mediocre assist rate.

    I think a bigger problem you Cav fans should worry about is how they'll look on the defensive side of the ball, both are among the worst defensive starters at their positions.
