Byron Scott New Cleveland Head Coach

Its been over a month since my last posting but in it you may recall (all two of you that read it) that I predicted that Byron Scott would be the next coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Needless to say that earlier this week the Cav's organization offered Scott the job, an offer he then accepted. Might Scott have jumped ship too early though? We're just into the beginning of free-agency and there's no guarantee that Lebron will be returning to his "hometown." (By the way, since when is Cleveland his hometown? Last time I checked James was born in Akron so enough with the nonsense!) Anyways, Scott is in an interesting position considering what will happen with the Cav's if Lebron decides to take his Akron grown talent elsewhere. There are two options for the Cavaliers, one: use the extra cap space to go out and sign a big name free-agent (CB3 maybe?) or two: tank the 2010-11 season and pray that you receive the number one pick in next year draft. Personally I'd go with option one, considering how many teams with the worst record have actually gotten the first overall pick, and believe me not that many have done it. But what do I know? I mean obviously the Cav's know more than me, why else would they have fired the best coach they've ever had and a GM that has consistently brought in talent to surround Lebron? I guess I just don't know basketball that much...
