Silas Could Be Cavs Next Coach Says Knight Ridder Column
Terry Phito notes Silas, former Hornets coach and ex Cavs player, is a strong candidate to lead Cleveland. Despite a solid 208-155 career, Silas’ Hornets stint ended after a six game playoff exit and a lower salary. Cavs tracked him previously in 1993, and his defense minded, physical style could fit with Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Boozer, while questions linger on Xs and Os.
