The Cleveland Cavaliers have hired Kenny Atkinson as their head coach, with owner Dan Gilbert playing a key role in the decision. Atkinson is known for his development of young players and pick-and-roll heavy offense. Two key players, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, have previous experience under Atkinson in Brooklyn.

Cleveland's roster is facing challenges with Donovan Mitchell's potential free agency and the need to find an impact wing. The team is also dealing with chemistry issues between Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. The coaching hire is just the beginning of the Cavaliers' rebuilding process.
