The Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs in the 2nd round by the Boston Celtics and there seems to be a bunch of turmoil within the locker room, so it begs the question as to what changes should the Cavs make in the off-season. Should they move on from Head Coach JB Bickerstaff or give him another season? Should they move on from General Manager Koby Altman too?
Amid a dramatic franchise transformation, the Cleveland Cavaliers have signed coach J.B. Bickerstaff to a multiyear extension, the team announced Saturday.
Bickerstaff will be under contract through the 2026-27 season, sources told ESPN.
Bickerstaff and general manager Koby Altman have worked together to reshape the Cavaliers around a young core -- including guard Darius Garland and big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley -- that appears to have a significant runway for success.

"J.B. Bickerstaff is, with all certainty, the right head coach to lead this franchise into what we believe is a very promising future," said Altman in a prepared statement. "The decision to extend J.B. is not based solely on the early success of this season, but rather a body of work since his arrival to Cleveland. His leadership style, coaching experience and commitment to player development has instilled a growing confidence that resonates across our entire organization. We continue to see innovative and strategic examples of his impact on this roster, coupled by his unique ability to build upon a culture that leads to sustainable success."
