Brown, who coached Cleveland for five seasons, had one year left on his contract.
Brown is the most successful coach in franchise history, finishing with a record of 272-138. He was the league's coach of the year in 2009.
Cleveland, which had the best record in the NBA regular season the past two seasons, had a 2-1 series lead over the Celtics before losing three straight, including the final two at home.
Cleveland had a midnight deadline on Sunday night to fire Brown or pay him his full 4.5 million dollar salary for next season.
