The biggest piece of news involving the Cavaliers on Friday wasn't that coach David Blatt was fired.
Instead it came from a tweet from ESPN's Brian Windhorst saying that Cavaliers star LeBron James was not forewarned of the impending announcement.
LeBron James was informed of the decision to fire David Blatt today, he was not consulted on decision sources said— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) January 22, 2016
Leaving King James out of the loop also was reported by Cleveland.com.

@WindhorstESPN sources are lying to you. Giving you journalistic benefit of the doubt. — ari burack (@theburack) January 22, 2016
What is almost as amusing comes from another Windhorst tweet via Complex.com suggesting that the Cavaliers players thought that the meeting was called to declare that forward Kevin Love had been traded.
