The Cavaliers officially confirmed that Byron Scott has been fired as head coach.

Cavs general manager Chris Grant said the team will look for an experienced head coach with a defensive background, which sounds an awful lot like former Cavs coach Mike Brown. Grant was non-committal when asked about Brown, but it's clear the Cavs are looking for someone to take their young core and turn it into a contender.

The Cavs are expected to fire Byron Scott at the end of the season, sources told Fox Sports Ohio.

Scott's future has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of April, and while he's dismissed concerns about his job security, it's hard to overlook the reports at this point since several are pointing toward the idea that he'll be shown the door. It wouldn't be surprising to see Scott shown the door.

Byron Scott's future with the Cavs is "in question," according to the Akron Beacon-Journal.

One anonymous Cavs player told the paper that the team is "exhausted" at this point, and went as far as to say Scott "killed us in camp." "Out shootarounds are an hour and 45 minutes." One player defended Scott saying that his teammates should "shut up and play," but there are questions about Scott in the front office and this won't be the last time we hear a rumble like this.
