Jim Paxson fired

Paxson's canning today was the worst-kept secret this side of "Wal-Mart is trying to take over the world."
Paxson is gone. Paul Silas is gone, one month to the day beforehand. Brendan Malone, it was also announced today, will not be considered for the Cavs' head coaching job next season.
By the end of this summer, many of the current Cavs players will be elsewhere as well.
It is only April 21, and it is already apparent: next season is going to be on Dan Gilbert. It's going to be his general manager, his coach, and largely his players. And if next season turns out like this one, it's going to be his fault.
