Former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin is a smart dude. He knew how to maximize the Cavaliers’ supporting cast with very little flexibility. He knew when to cut ties with Cleveland’s owner, Dan Gilbert. And now, after his name gained steam in the New York Knicks’ general manager search, he’s shown he knows a [...]

As time went on, he began to shut down and become more diplomatic. There would be the occasional fire tweet or troll burn, but like many big-time athletes, his feed felt contrived and, oftentimes, neglected. [...]
