Tom Thibodeau could get a call if Cavs dismiss David Blatt

A recent report by ESPN's Marc Stein has ruffled some feathers.

Stein judged, as many have, that LeBron James' handling of Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt was unbecoming. In speculating about who could replace Blatt if the Cavs decide to send him off, an interesting name came up.

"This is purely and simply about James," Stein writes. "If he can't bring himself to back Blatt with more gusto going forward -- going right to Gilbert and telling him to hire Jeff Van Gundy [or] Tom Thibodeau."

We'll see what happens, but it looks like a recently fired Chicago icon could soon join the enemy.
