That is not the case. LeBron was open to playing for any coach (or at least giving them a shot) when he came back to the Cavs, including Mike Brown. Legitimately. Their relationship wasn’t bad. The org never would have hired Brown in 2013 if they thought it would hinder LeBron coming back the next summer.
The primary reason why Brown got fired was because Kyrie hated him. Capital H hated. There was concern from the organization that Kyrie would not have signed his rookie max extension if Brown remained the coach, which we needed Kyrie to do. First and foremost, that was the reason why Brown had to go.
Seems like the Potato Head may have had a better read on Kyrie than did anyone else.
