CLEVELAND (AP) -- For the first time in recent memory, the Cleveland Cavaliers made an off-season coaching move that didn't involve someone being hired or fired.
Mike Brown, who led Cleveland to 50 regular-season wins and the second round of the NBA playoffs in his first year as coach, was rewarded Thursday as the club picked up his $2.5 million contract option. Brown signed a three-year, $10 million deal with the option last June when he was named the 17th coach in franchise history -- and the Cavs' sixth in six years.

Good for them...he did a good job...though he should shine Lebron's shoes every chance he gets... ...Which begs the question...how much was it Lebron...how much was it the coaching?

I'm sure it was mostly LeBron, but this is a case of don't fix what ain't broke. The Cavs are a team on the rise, so why change coaches now? A couple of more pieces fall into place and this may be a team we see playing in the Finals every year fairly soon.

...yeah, you know...a player like Lebron can make a or break a coaching career...a lot easier to coach or sign on other players when you got a center piece like Lebron...

The other night after Game 7, Lebron didn't sound too thrilled with Mike Brown. Maybe it was just a heat of the moment type of thing.

Too late...he should have spoken up...the guy got another year there...

Good point, Gotham Dark Knight.

Since the franchise is built around LeBron James, I think LeBron could change anything that happens. If LeBron were to make a deal of Mike Brown, he would never have gotten another year in Cleveland. But since he didn't (yet), I think he will have a nice ride in Cleveland.

LeBron James had a good run at the Playoffs this year. Actually, they did much better than I expect. Who would have thought it would come to Game Seven against the past NBA champions?
