Last night, it looked like Brian Shaw was the "front-runner" to be the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. My, how quickly and dramatically things can change. Tonight, multiple reports state that former New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets coach Byron Scott is now on track to be the team's next head coach.
Chris Broussard of ESPN.com tweeted it first Wednesday evening.
The Cavaliers are in contract negotiations with Byron Scott. He will be the club's next head coach.
