The Cleveland Cavaliers have some great young players in place, but the man coaching them could be shown the door once the season concludes. While the team hasn't said anything public yet, "all indications are privately pointing to," head coach Byron Scott being fired Thursday, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Even as young players like Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters showed growth under Scott, the Cavs continued their losing ways.
