Cavaliers Owner Mum on Calipari Rumors

Earlier Monday, Yahoo Sports reported that (Cavs owner Dan) Gilbert had offered Kentucky coach John Calipari a seven-year, $60 million deal to serve as president and coach of the team. ESPN put the numbers at $80 million for 10 years. Calipari turned the offer down and signed a seven-year, $52 million deal with Kentucky.

Gilbert declined to address the report saying, “It does the franchise no benefit by commenting on coaching search rumors.”
