It’s been a hectic couple of weeks for the Cleveland Cavaliers and their front office. After making the playoffs and getting to the conference semifinals for the first time since 2018, they decided it wasn’t good enough.
Cleveland parted ways with J.B. Bickerstaff and is looking to find a new lead man for the organization. The can also offer Donovan Mitchell a massive extension after the NBA Finals and want to keep their star player happy with the head coach.
After interviewing a few different candidates, one certain person has emerged as the frontrunner.
James Borrego’s Candidacy With Cavaliers Has ‘Momentum’ https://t.co/cTRUkqFG57

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst appeared on Get Up on Monday morning and discussed the Cavs vacant position. It sounds like James Borrego to Cleveland is gaining some traction.
“Other candidates that they’re interested in, are moving on elsewhere. So James Borrego, who they interviewed about 10 days ago, he’s getting momentum in Cleveland. He’s expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs.”
– Brian Windhorst
Borrego is currently the top assistant for the New Orleans Pelicans and is known for being an offensive-minded coach, something that Cleveland is looking for.
Borrego was also the former head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, logging a 138-163 record.
The Cavs felt that Bickerstaff couldn’t connect with the players in the locker room despite their success on the court. Borrego may take a different approach while having a great basketball mind and management could be looking to have the 46-year-old take over.

Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell Sounds Off On Stephen A. Smith, Critics
![Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell Sounds Off On Stephen A. Smith, Critics Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell Sounds Off On Stephen A. Smith, Critics](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_5291,h_2976,x_0,y_104/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/cavs_insider/01j4j2v7jm83jdxhqcda.jpg)
Many people cannot handle criticism, whether it’s constructive or unwarranted. But Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell eats it up.
During a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Mitchell revealed why he actually likes criticism.
“And when people started talking (expletive) about, ‘Oh, he not that good,’ and I overcame that little hump, that’s when I was like, ‘Alright, bet. I belong,” Mitchell said. “Because they only doin’ that — they not gonna talk (expletive), like you said, about the last guy on the bench.”
Mitchell went on to single out ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith as one of the critics that motivated him.
“The greats go through the highs and the lows throughout, then that’s when I really stopped listening to the media for real, but that was when I realized, like, oh, you got the Stephen A. Smiths talking about, ‘Oh, he can be this. He can be that.’ And then you start struggling then it’s like, ‘Oh, he’s not this. He’s not that.’ That’s when I was like, ‘Alright, bet.’ You overcome that,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell has a point. Not many NBA analysts are going to focus their critiques on bench players, but when it comes to stars, it’s open season.
Many say that you know you’ve made it when you people start hating, and that’s the angle Mitchell seems to be taking.
And Mitchell has definitely made it.
The 27-year-old has made five straight All-Star appearances and is coming off of a 2023-24 campaign in which he averaged 26.6 points, 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 35.3 minutes per game on 46.2/36.8/86.5 shooting splits.
Mitchell also just signed a lucrative three-year contract extension with the Cavaliers.
That being said, there is still one major accolade missing from Mitchell’s resume: playoff success.
We’ll see if Mitchell can lead Cleveland on a deep postseason run next spring.
