Re: Mike Brown...how much of the Cleveland problem was on management and LeBron vs. Brown? The LA situation was a bad one, period, so I'm not surprised that didn't work out, but Cleveland...was basically LeBron doing what he wanted with no accountability, and that was from Day 1 from management. I'm not saying Mike Brown is a great coach, but I think he has had pretty awful situations to work in, especially both his Cleveland runs. Though, I will concede that it may be him, and not management, that let young players do what they want with no accountability, but my impression is, Gilbert and others basically created different (aka no) rules for LeBron, and have done the same with Irving.
