Mike Brown Cavs Reunion: Meeting Between Brown and Dan Gilbert 'Went Well'

The Sunday night dinner meeting between Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and former head coach Mike Brown went well, sources close to the situation told ESPN's Chris Broussard on Monday. The Cavaliers, however, did not officially offer Brown the job, according to a source.

Both sides agreed to deliberate over the situation before speaking again later this week, perhaps as soon as Monday night or Tuesday. Cavs general manager Chris Grant also attended the meeting, which was held in Detroit.

Several teams facing head coaching vacancies are expected to show interest in Brown this summer. But sources say he is intrigued with the idea of returning to Cleveland because of All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and the club's substantial amount of salary cap space.

Cleveland has also reached out to Phil Jackson over the weekend. However, their contract with him is viewed more as a due diligence as Jackson is more interested in taking a front-office position with an NBA team, according to sources, and the team is interested in him serving as a head coach.
