Former Brooklyn Nets coach and current Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson is reportedly the early leader to become the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they seek an experienced coach to lead their win-now team. Ownership involvement in the coaching search may add unpredictability, but Atkinson is viewed as a strong potential hire due to his previous success in Brooklyn building a team that attracted star players like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Cavaliers face important roster decisions this summer, such as potentially trading Darius Garland if Donovan Mitchell signs a max extension, and the new coach will be under pressure to deliver immediate results in Cleveland.
