While Michigan State Basketball coach Tom Izzo has said he will not leave the college until his Spartans win another championship that is not stopping the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland is desperate to keep all-star LeBron James who is a free agent at the end of this season. So desperate the team has already fired coach Mike Brown and GM Danny Ferry, as they look for a more compatible front office to keep LeBron.
While Izzo has not been offered a contract yet, he is in contact with team owner Dan Gilbert. Gilbert is willing to give Izzo a five year deal for $6 million a season as well as use of his private jet. Currently, Izzo makes $3 million a season with Michigan State.
Other candidates for the Cleveland coaching job are Kentucky coach John Calipari and former Pistons coach Larry Brown. With Dan Gilbert a Michigan native and owner of Rock Financial it seems there is a Michigan connection.

LBJ sat down with Larry King to discuss his highly coveted free agency. Right now, it is like a game of “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego” as to where LeBron will end up next season, but LBJ says despite all the rumors Cleveland still has the edge. 
The Phoenix Suns are proving to be a bigger bump in the road for the LA Lakers than expected. The Western conference series is going to Game 6 with the Lakers leading the series 3-2. Los Angeles has the chance to close out the series on Saturday, but Lamar Odom has another bump to worry about… his wife’s bump.
