Message: [QUOTE="Fireball Jr., post: 2466296, member: 404"] The biggest -- possibly worst -- move the Cavs made was Dan Gilbert cutting loose the gm, David Griffin, after the playoffs seven months ago, as Griffin was working on deals for Paul George and Jimmy Butler. Carmelo supposedly had the Cavs as his second choice after Houston. But then Griffin was gone, a 34-year wunderkind newbie took over as gm, Kyrie was traded, no Paul George, no Jimmy Butler, no Carmelo. I get the sense players also like and repect Griffin, he seems to be respected around the league, but Gilbert calls the shots and he doesn't give gm's a second contract. The lineup tweaking for the Cavs begins tomorrow: Thompson starts at center, Love moves back to power forward, Crowder goes to the bench. Perhaps it will help somewhat on d, but it will also allow the Cavs to showcase a candidate for a trade. [/QUOTE]
