He played in the NBA for 13 seasons with six teams, and he was a coach with the San Antonio Spurs (1992-94) and Philadelphia 76ers (1994-96). Lucas, who has a combined record of 136-171, was also the general manager and director of basketball for the 76ers. Though the Cavs did not release the terms of Lucas' deal, it is reportedly for three years and worth between $8 and $9 million. Lucas didn't waste any time in his new job. He spent the first couple of days calling Cavaliers players--and warning them. "They've never seen anything like me," he said. "I've got an energy level that these guys have never seen before."
