Mack PerryHOST
There is no Tyronn Lue on the bench.
Mack PerryHOST
Like, listen, I hate to break it to you, but Johnny Bryant's not changing shit.
Mack PerryHOST
You can say, oh, well, let's hire Tom Thibodeau, somebody like that.
Mack PerryHOST
That's not happening either.
Mack PerryHOST
Yeah.
Mack PerryHOST
No, I don't think it happens because his replacement's not currently on the roster.
Mack PerryHOST
Again, I don't think Johnny Bryant changes shit.
Mack PerryHOST
He just doesn't.
Mack PerryHOST
He has to go ASAP.
Mack PerryHOST
Listen, again, I'm not – what are you going to do after one game? Are you giving the keys to Johnny Bryant? I mean, like, listen, no.
Mack PerryHOST
That's not how it works, guys.
Mack PerryHOST
If you want to sit up here at the midseason point and say, yeah, we need to shake up.
Tim AlcornGUEST
He did a great job.
Tim AlcornGUEST
No, you've got Johnny Bryant.
Tim AlcornGUEST
You've got Trevor Henry.
Tim AlcornGUEST
I mean, you've got guys on this staff that are now with Kenny for his third year.
Ethan SandsHOST
But former NBA head coach Tom Thibodeau was in attendance and Cleveland did a fair amount of scrimmaging, according to Kenny Atkinson.
Ethan SandsHOST
And Thibodeau was actually seen talking with Donovan Mitchell and Johnny Bryant after practice.
Ethan SandsHOST
Obviously, Johnny Bryant previously worked under Tom Thibodeau in New York, and Mitchell is just a New York kid.
Ethan SandsHOST
Chris, what did you make of Tom Thibodeau being there? Is this simply an example of the relationships that exist around the league, or is there any additional context worth
Chris FedorPANELIST
knowing about this visit? I think it's mostly just relationships around the league.
Danny CunninghamHOST
So bringing in an outside perspective is something that I think can help with that.
Danny CunninghamHOST
And I think that is something that having Tibbs around for practice and having him give feedback and like afterwards, Saw him talking with Donovan Mitchell, with Johnny Bryant, like having that type of knowledge around and Tibbs.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Johnny Bryant was obviously on one of Tibbs' staffs in New York.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Having Tibbs around, being able to lean on somebody like that, I think it's good for Kenny Atkinson.
Danny CunninghamHOST
I think it's good for the entire coaching staff.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Obviously, that is Indiana, Golden State, and Oklahoma City.
Danny CunninghamHOST
Johnny Bryant and Trevor Hendry, two assistants for the Cavs.
Danny CunninghamHOST
They both received votes as the best assistant coach in basketball.
Danny CunninghamHOST
I don't necessarily know how that is something that can really be calculated, right? Like just because the jobs of assistant coaches are often relatively blurry, right? They don't have these very correct titles the way that like NFL coaches do or NBA or MLB coaches do, right? Like you don't have offensive coordinators.
Matt GeistHOST
You have Dave Bliss in OKC, Sam Cassell in Boston, Frank Vogel in Golden State.
Matt GeistHOST
Johnny Bryant, former Nick, now in Cleveland.
Matt GeistHOST
Jarron Irmin in New York, uh, Trevor Hendry in Cleveland.
Matt GeistHOST
I, I like to get familiar with these names too, 'cause this might be the next, like, hotshot assistants to get a head coaching job.
