LeBron James has not made any indication whether he will return to the Cavs although he has stated a self-imposed timeline of July 5 to make a decision. James also has stated that he would be in favor of having Scott as head coach as he is a former NBA player and he has a great relationship with New Orleans Guard Chris Paul. James has hinted that he would love to have Paul in a Cleveland uniform and now maybe that trade becomes more of a realistic option...granted that "The King" stays in Cleveland and resigns.
Scott brings a 352-355 overall record (33-24 playoffs) with him that he amassed with the New Orleans Hornets from 2004-2010 and 3 seasons with the New Jersey Nets where he took them to the Eastern Conference finals twice.
Congratulations Byron Scott and good luck!
