What does Ty Lue have to do to be taken more seriously?

You have to wonder at what point does LeBron begin deserving at least part of the blame for the lack of structure in Cleveland?

And before the pitchforks come out, let me say that LeBron is obviously one of the three or four greatest players to ever play this game.

He is an amazing player, but when you take a look at the Cavaliers since he's come back - it's been a carousel of players and coaches surrounding LeBron in an attempt to find something that works. Even when they apparently found it in 2016 and won the championship, it didn't last.

People say he has never had a great coach, but the fact is since coming to Cleveland there hasn't been a coach who was given enough time to grow and develop a system before being fired. And, you're kidding yourself if you think a decision like that is coming from anybody other than LeBron, who runs the Cavaliers as an organization.

He's so good that he doesn't really need a system - he is the system. But it seems like he simply doesn't have the patience to let a coach do his thing or let a roster develop over time because he needs to win a championship right now.

David Blatt was fired after one and a half seasons of a finals appearance and a 30-11 record.

Irving requested a trade after three seasons with LeBron because he didn't want to play with him anymore.

David Griffin was fired a season after winning the championship.

The bench has been overhauled in an attempt to find something that works.

And to be honest, I will be shocked if Lue lasts any longer than this season.

Downvote me because it's blasphemy to point any fingers on LeBron whether warranted or not, but there is no structure in Cleveland and at least some of that it seems obvious has to do with LeBron.
