Not blatt per say but a YES MAN so he can control everything on the court. He did not want a coach whos going to be tough on him, or who's going to be controlling every or any aspects on the court. He didnt wanna be headbutting with coaches like we hear with other players - Sloan/Deron, Kidd/Carlisle, Rondo/Carlisle etc etc etc...

Before the season even started everyone was hailing Lebron as the REAL gm. He brought Mike MIller, James Jones, Shawn Marion, Perkins, Kevin Love, Jr SMith, Iman Shumpert, Mozgov into the Cavs.

Lebron has all the power.

Are you telling me that if Lebron didnt want David Blatt - a newbie coach, Dan Gilbert would have said NO to Lebron????

Even if Blatt was hired before Lebron came back they could have fired him... Coaches get fired all the time, there is no reason they couldnt have fired Blatt...

So stop using Blatt as an excuse.
