Top assistant Larry Drew, who was expected to take over after Cleveland fired Tyronn Lue, said Monday he is not the team's interim coach but is merely "the voice right now" as the Cavs prepared to host Atlanta.
Drew said his agent is in talks with the Cavs on the subject of compromise.
Koby Altman, who was disappointed with the team's 0-6 start and part ways to win a pro sports championship in Cleveland since 1964.
Altman praised Lue but said, "We just did not think about coach, we did not have the right coach."
The Cavs are struggling to adjust following the departure of three-time champion LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers this summer.
James on Monday was reluctant to comment on how to train his situation in the future.
"Really, I do not have much of a reaction because I do not really want to be here today, other than playing the Timberwolves," James said. "I know that whatever I say about this situation would get the first beat.
"So, I had three and a half, and we had a lot to do with it." We are here to help you, and you have a lot to do with it, and you can do it all at the helm, three Eastern Conference finals, three finals, one championship .
"So, I got nothing but good stuff to talk about T-Lue, but that's all beyond me."
