He is further reporting that the Cavaliers will make a list of replacement candidates in the coming days and that Golden State Warriors' assistant Kenny Atkinson may be a candidate for the position.

The Cavaliers nearly got swept in their series against the Boston Celtics who beat them 4-1 in the series. The series was not competitive and led to the Cavaliers' fanbase and NBA fans alike questioning Bickerstaff's head coaching performance. As a result, the Cavaliers fired Bickerstaff and will now look to find a replacement to lead them into the future.
