Cavs, GM David Griffin part ways

David Griffin

The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering a critical time for their franchise, and they may be doing so under new leadership.

The Cavs and GM David Griffin are parting ways, as first reported by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert issued a statement saying the two sides mutually agreed not to extend Griffin’s contract, which expires at the end of the month.

Assistant GM Trent Redden is also out.

Griffin has been with the Cavs since 2010, serving as GM since 2014. Reports have said that Griffin was seeking a significant raise from Cleveland after receiving interest from the Magic, Hawks and Bucks this offseason.

Griffin reportedly has been making under $2 million per year as the Cavs’ GM, which is under market for an executive whose team has reached three straight Finals.

The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski says Chauncey Billups is expected to emerge as a front-runner for the job:

Whoever takes over has the task of trying to construct a roster that’s better suited to take on the Warriors. The Cavs are in the middle of trade talks for both Paul George and Jimmy Butler.

What’s the reaction like?
