CLEVELAND -- Tyronn Lue is joining the Cavaliers as a coach after all. Christian Wilkins Jersey . Lue, who had two interviews during Clevelands recent coaching search but didnt get the job, was hired as an associate head coach on new Cavs coach David Blatts staff. General manager David Griffin was impressed with Lue as he looked for a coach, and believes the former Los Angeles Clippers assistant can help the Cavs rebound from a tough season. "Over the past several weeks, it became clear that Ty could play a key role in our teams future success," said Griffin. "Ty fits our culture and vision for the franchise. His successful experience as both a player and coach is going to help us tremendously. Tyronn Lue joining Coach Blatts staff is more than exciting to all of us here in Cleveland. The leadership and knowledge of Ty is going to be critically important as we move into a new era of competitive Cavaliers basketball." Yahoo! first reported Lues hiring. Lue was one of the finalists to get the Cleveland job before it went to Blatt, who signed a three-year contract with a fourth year club option on Friday. The 55-year-old Blatt has never coached in the NBA -- or the U.S. -- so bringing in a coach with Lues experience will help him and give the Cavs an insurance policy. "I could not be happier that Ty will be joining the Cavaliers coaching staff as my top assistant," Blatt said. "I look forward to leveraging all of his experiences and expertise into our teams development. "This is a character guy and winner himself who played and worked with some of the greatest talents and successful leaders in NBA history. I am thrilled to have him by my side as we get to work in Cleveland." The 37-year-old Lue played guard for 11 seasons with seven NBA teams. He won NBA titles as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000 and 2001. Lue spent the past five years working on Doc Rivers staff in Boston and Los Angeles and is regarded as one of the leagues rising young coaches. Lue thanked Rivers for his "deep support, mentorship and friendship" and "helping prepare me so well for this next step and challenge." Lue sees Cleveland as a great opportunity. "Through numerous discussions with David and Griff, I felt Cleveland is a great situation for me," he said. "I believe my background will help me play a key part in helping achieve the vision that the leadership of this franchise has for its team. I cant wait to get to work with Coach Blatt and our players." As the Cavs consider other candidates to join Blatts staff, they are finalizing plans for Thursdays draft. Cleveland has the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row and is expected to select either Duke forward Jabari Parker or Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins. Wholesale Dolphins Jerseys Authentic .

And rest hardly led to rust for the two-time defending NBA champions.Niall Quinn believes David Moyes should be afforded time to implement his own methods at Sunderland despite the clubs poor start to the season. The Wearsiders are bottom of the Premier League with just two points from their opening seven games and their only wins all season have come against lower-league opposition in the EFL Cup. Niall Quinn thinks David Moyes should be given more time to get things right at Sunderland Moyes has cut a figure of frustration more recently but Quinn - a former Sunderland player, manager and chairman - maintains he should be allowed to see the job through to next year at least. He told Sky Sports News HQ: He just needs to get about three months under his belt, to get his way into play and then maybe have a strong window in January, where he can get more assistance and perhaps do what Sam Allardyce did for the club.Its going to take a little bit longer. Hes different to what Sam had done. The club was unfortunate, of course, the man went off to manage England. Quinn admits Sunderlands season hasnt been good so far but has given Moyes his backing We now realise it was probably unfortunate Sam himself went off to manage England.They had a little bit of catching up to do and David Moyes came in, not with one arm tied behind his back, but he couldnt do a lot in the window.He was trying to get his team together and injuries have mounted on him as well.I suppose to be in contention and to get to January and get intto a good place and maybe get a player or two - a goalscorer in particular - is probably what he needs to do.
