Sam and Brad spoke with Brian Dulik of the Associated Press and the Medina Gazette in studio Thursday.

They spoke about the parting of ways between Larry Drew and the Cavaliers organization.

Cavaliers General Manager Koby Altman will speak with the media tomorrow morning at Cleveland Clinic Courts to wrap up the season and address the Coach Drew news. 

A report from the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday afternoon is that head coach Tyronn Lue will be taking some time off from the team to address undisclosed health issues. 

The following is Coach Lue's statement from Cavs.com: 

"After many conversations with our doctors and Koby and much thought given to what is best for the team and my health, I need to step back from coaching for the time being and focus on trying to establish a stronger and healthier foundation from which to coach for the rest of the season.

I have had chest pains and other troubling symptoms, compounded by a loss of sleep, throughout the year. Despite a battery of tests, there have been no conclusions as to what the exact issue is.

While I have tried to work through it, the last thing I want is for it to affect the team. I am going to use this time to focus on a prescribed routine and medication, which has previously been difficult to start in the midst of a season. My goal is to come out of it a stronger and healthier version of myself so I can continue to lead this team to the Championship we are all working towards.

I greatly appreciate Dan Gilbert, Koby Altman, our medical team and the organization's support throughout."

Reports are that Cavs assistant coach Larry Drew will take over the coaching duties while Coach Lue gets healthy. 

LeBron James commenting, saying, "I knew he was struggling, but (Lue) was never not himself," adding, "It's probably long overdue, but health is the most important thing."
