The Cavaliers fired coach Byron Scott on Thursday and his successor reportedly could be a familiar face. Multiple league sources said former Cavs coach Mike Brown and the team's front-office share mutual interest in his return to Cleveland, according to ESPN.

The Cavs fired Brown after the 2010 season as LeBron James began the process of leaving the team to sign with the Heat in free agency.

Despite Brown being fired by owner Dan Gilbert after back-to-back 60-win seasons, sources told ESPN.com there were no grudges held by either side that would prevent a dialogue about a fresh start.

The report says the reunion could depend on Brown deciding if he's read to coach again after being fired by the Lakers early in the season. The Lakers still owe Brown more than $8 million for the two years remaining on his contract.
