It’s still relatively early, but it appears the Cavaliers have at least one coaching candidate they like in James Borrego. League sources told Hoops Wire that the Cavs have been very impressed in their talks with the former Charlotte Hornets coach, who was interviewed by Cleveland on Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Lakers may be one of the most recognizable franchises in all of sports, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that their vacant head-coaching position is more desirable than the job the Cleveland Cavaliers have to offer.
The coaching search in Los Angeles is turning into a disaster. It's clear the franchise doesn't have the pulling power it once had.

The NBA’s coaching carousel has been one of the hottest talked-about topics since the regular season came to an end. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles
James Borrego is a hot item for the two NBA teams with coaching openings — and that would be the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers. Borrego is meeting with the Cavs on Tuesday, league sources told Hoops Wire.
New Orleans Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego is “back at the forefront” of the Los Angeles Lakers’ head coach search, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

The Lakers have resumed their head coach search after being turned down by Dan Hurley.
At the beginning of the Los Angeles Lakers head coaching search, New Orleans Pelicans assistant coach James Borrego was in the mix along with ESPN color commentator JJ Redick, who was viewed as the frontrunner for several weeks.
The Cavs’ coaching search is moving forward — and perhaps towards a conclusion. At the moment, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers are the only two NBA teams without a head coach.
The last remaining head coaching vacancy in the Eastern Conference may be rounding into shape.
According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers will interview James Borrego and Kenny Atkinson this week. Borrego has also been heavily linked to the Los Angeles Lakers. “The only candidate known to visit Los Angeles other than Dan Hurley is New Orleans associate head coach James Borrego,” Windhorst wrote.
The Los Angeles Lakers missed out on their top head coach target when Dan Hurley decided on Monday to remain at UConn. Many expect them to now pivot back to JJ Redick, but that does not sound like a given.

According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN, James Borrego is “getting momentum” with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Borrego could be the “leading candidate” for the head coaching job in Cleveland. “So James Borrego, who they (the Lakers) interviewed about 10 days ago, he’s getting momentum in Cleveland,” Windhorst said.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ coaching search seemed to be focused on JJ Redick and James Borrego early on, although the focus quickly shifted to UConn head coach Dan Hurley last week when news broke that he was a candidate.
Anthony Davis has reportedly backed James Borrego to be the new Lakers head coach over JJ Redick, who is the current front-runner for the job. According to Marc Stein, Davis prefers Borrego over Redick due to Borrego's actual experience as a head coach.
The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a strong approach to their head-coaching vacancy. After parting ways with Darvin Ham following two seasons at the helm, there's been no shortage of rumors but also no movement from the Lakers thus far.
While the Los Angeles Lakers have not yet hired a new head coach, their search has been moving along with interviews taking place the last couple of weeks.
As the NBA head coaching carousel continues to spin, the Cavaliers find themselves in one of the most interesting spots in the league.
