The Cleveland Cavaliers, the 2016 NBA champions, have officially begun the process of finding a new head coach. After the recent firing of JB Bickerstaff as head coach, the team is actively looking for a replacement to help them return to the top of the basketball world.

The first candidates for the position of head coach

According to recent reports, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been cleared to interview two prospects: Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego. Both coaches have extensive NBA experience and can bring new ideas and strategies to the team.

Kenny Atkinson: Experience with Golden State and Brooklyn

Kenny Atkinson has spent the past three years as an assistant head coach to Steve Kerr with the Golden State Warriors. Prior to that, he served as Brooklyn's head coach for just over three years, where he developed a reputation as a specialist in developing young players. Atkinson then joined Tyronn Lue's coaching staff at the Los Angeles Clippers for one season.

"Kenny has a deep knowledge and understanding of the game that makes him an excellent candidate for our team," commented a Cavaliers official.

James Borrego: From Charlotte to New Orleans

James Borrego is currently an assistant coach to Willie Green with the New Orleans Pelicans. Borrego previously led the Charlotte Hornets for three seasons, where he established himself as an effective leader and strategist. His experience with young teams could be useful for the Cavaliers, who have a lot of promising players.

"James has always demonstrated the ability to adapt and innovate, which is key in modern basketball," one of the analysts said.
