    Cavs parts ways with GM David Griffin
    Odd decision here. By all accounts he did a very good job.

    Chauncey Billups has emerged as a possible candidate.

                    Meh. Let's face it. As soon as he leaves, they are fukked for at least a decade, if not forever.

                                Chauncey was supposedly lobbying for the job during the playoffs. Griffin is the GM of a team that goes to the Finals 3 years in a row and doesn't get a contract extension. Very fishy. Lebron's posse must not have liked Griffin.

                                  James not happy. This Dan Gilbert guy clearly didn't learn the first time.

                                        James wanted him to stay...

                                        ”It makes no sense why he shouldn’t get an extension,” James recently told ESPN. “He’s pulled every move -- he’s tried to make every move happen -- to better this team to be able to compete for a championship. So we wouldn’t be in this position, obviously, without him and without the guys that are here -- from the coaching staff to the players to Griff. He’s been a big piece of it.”
                                        but Griffin was due for a raise making less than 2 million a year (or so it was written) and Cleveland wouldn't give Atlanta, Milwaukee, or Orlando permission to discuss a GM job.

                                        Those jobs are filled and now.

                                        It wasn't Lebron, and both Gilbert and Griffin say the decision not to extend was mutual...for whatever that's worth.

                                          well someone had to take the blame for being embarrassed in the finals and you know damn well LeBron isn't going to take anything unless its praise

                                              Laker, James leaves and he he the biggest sellout villain of all time. If he stays and they get it together it is better. Just hate to see him starting to pick the city and the league.
                                              He got a free pass w Cleveland the second time around. If you were in his shoes you know u would stay.

                                                GSW's just getting better, there is no realistic combo of players in the NBA that can beat them, so who the cavs gym is next year is a moot point

                                                            LeBron knows player personnel as well as he catches gate graffiti artists.
