<description><![CDATA[You stick with a good thing, right? Well, Cleveland could be ditching heed coach even though he won Coach of the Year this past season. The Cavs had the league’s best record, but the front office has been on a mission to improve since the team lost to Orlando in the playoffs. And some of them reportedly seem to think they’d improve without Brown, who these same people apparently think was not as good as his counterpart in Orlando,. Rumor has it the execs were just as disappointed in the team’s wins over the Magic as its losses and said Brown’s game plan for the series was “junk.” Some are saying could be coming to Cleveland to save the day. Or at least keep a couple of hairdressers employed there. (ProBasketballNews)]]></description>
