How the Cavs could lose two assistant coaches to head coaching vacancies this offseason

*editor's note: This episode was recorded prior to the firing of Tom Thibodeau* On this episode of Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands, Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins dive into the ripple effects of potential staff shakeups, with Jordan Ott and Johnnie Bryant emerging as finalists for the Suns' head coaching job — and Bryant potentially linked to the Knicks' vacancy as well. What would losing Bryant mean for the Cavs, especially with his deep connection to Donovan Mitchell? Could a change on the bench subtly shift the direction of Cleveland’s core? The trio unpacks how behind-the-scenes relationships shape on-court results — and why player development hangs in the balance when a trusted voice might walk out the door. Whether you're tracking Xs and Os or the emotions that move stars, this episode breaks down why coaching decisions aren’t just about who draws up plays — they're about who players believe in.
