Paul Silas fired

My guess is Cleveland's trying to copy Michael Jordan's Bulls. Doug Collins helped get Jordan established, and Phil Jackson came in to turn the Bulls into a championship team. So now Cleveland's hoping the same will happen with LeBron's next coach.

There's a couple problems with doing this though. One, Silas is a good coach. As evidence, look what happened to the Hornets after he was fired from that team. Two, even if they get Phil Jackson, the Cav's still need more talent. Without Scottie Pippen, Jackson doesn't become a Zen Master genius. LeBron and Cleveland have nothing close to a Pippen, so they'll continue to be an average team (which isn't bad for the East).
