CLEVELAND - Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said David Blatt will remain the teams head coach and that no change will be made.Griffin, speaking to reporters before Sundays game against Dallas, called scrutiny about Blatts job status ridiculous and said he isnt giving the rookie head coach a vote of confidence because he never needed one.Griffin also took issue with reports that LeBron James, who is sidelined with knee and back soreness, is unhappy with Blatt and said the narrative about the coachs job is over.Its a non-story, Griffin said. Coach Blatt is our coach. Hes going to remain our coach.Griffin disagreed with the idea that James isnt supporting Blatt, talk that began in earnest last week. When the four-time MVP was asked if Blatt was the right coach for the team, he said. Yeah, hes our coach, I mean, what other coach do we have? Pressed about endorsing Blatt, James said, Listen man, I dont pay no bills around here. I play.Griffin pointed out that James made positive comments about Blatt during that media session .I heard the entire audio file of LeBron James comments, Griffin said. No more than three different times he said, we are growing together every day, the team grows together every day and I am happy with who we have at the helm, But that wasnt a sexy pull quote so we kept looking for something else until we could pull something that sounded negative, Griffin said. That narrative is done. No change is being made, period.The Cavaliers, considered one of the favourites to win the NBA title when the season began after James returned to Cleveland and the team traded for All-Star forward Kevin Love, are 19-14 and sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.Griffin said he knew going into the season that the Cavaliers would be under intense scrutiny and added, Were like travelling with the Beatles.Griffin hopes James, who is scheduled to be examined again by team doctors Wednesday, will return during the teams upcoming West Coast road trip.If it was up to him hed play tomorrow, Griffin said. The guys a warrior.Blatt said James did not attend Sundays game and will not make the trip to Philadelphia for Monday nights game on advice from the teams medical staff.Injuries have been a factor for the Cavaliers. James missed his fifth game Sunday and centre Anderson Varejao is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Kyrie Irving wont make the trip to Philadelphia for Monday nights game because of lower back tightness that forced him out of the game Sunday.Love, Shawn Marion and Matthew Dellavedova have also missed time with injuries.

The former England international, with 54 caps, made a club-record 281 appearances for Quins but will now be in charge of defence at the club.Explaining his decision, the 38-year-old said he has recently struggled to get motivated for matches and believed the club deserves a player who can commit totally to playing. He told Sky Sports News HQ: Around January or February time, I struggled with the mental motivation a little bit.Ive never had a problem getting up for games. Ive always wanted to win and give everything but that was only happening every two or three games from January or February onward. Nick Easter played 54 times in a stalwart England career I thought it might be the toll of the season so I thought Id sit on it over the summer, have five weeks off and turn up for pre-season. Well the prowlers are out, the bags are out, the running canes are out, the stopwatches are out, and I realised actually I havent changed my mind.The coaching career definitely helped make the decision. I was contracted to play this season, the offer was player-coach, taking part in the defensive aspect, which is a huge area and would have been a full-time schedule. A look back at Easters career as he retires from rugby with Harlequins and England I would have had to fit my playing in and around that and I just didnt think it would be fair on myself nor the boys, not produce the sort of quality I feel Ive been doing for the last few years.ddddddddddddaster joined Harlequins from Orrell in 2004, and won the first of his 54 England caps in 2007.

Easter (centre) played 281 times for Harlequins Kingston said: Nick has been an unbelievable servant to the Harlequins team for over a decade.He has been at the very heartbeat of all the successes the side has achieved over this period.Nick has a fantastic rugby brain and it is for this reason I offered him the opportunity to join the new look coaching team at the club. Both Nick and I have agreed it is in the best interests of Quins that he focuses on his coaching exclusively from now.
