David Blatt has received the unwavering support of the Cleveland Cavaliers' front office and from Dan Gilbert so far despite a difficult start to the season.

"There is not even a thought of replacing him," one high-ranking Cavaliers official told Yahoo Sports.

Blatt has seemed to let LeBron James dictate the terms of their relationship and hasn't tried to battle him in public or private.

"It is a process," Blatt told Yahoo Sports. "It really has to come first from the professional side. Man to man, we're OK. We don't go out drinking together, but we're fine man to man. But professionally, LeBron wants to win. And he wants from me, from any coach, a vehicle to help him win.

"Sometimes, it's tougher. Sometimes, it's less so. He's one of the great players of all time. He's been in the Finals four straight years and five times overall. He's got his own opinions and he expresses them. At times, he can be stubborn. But what I know from him, what he wants from me, is a vehicle to help him win. And beyond that, nothing else is really important."

Blatt is grateful to the support from David Griffin and Gilbert.

"They have been so supportive, so great," Blatt says. "I've never been involved with such a good group of people, and I've been in a lot of places. That's one of the things that keeps me strong."
