Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers had one job. They still have it, technically, but for how much longer, nobody knows. Their objective: Don’t do anything to ruffle LeBron James’ feathers. Simple, right? Apparently not. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert showed general manager David Griffin, someone James held in high regard, the door shortly after the NBA Finals ended. [...]

With Phil Jackson gone, Carmelo Anthony has, ostensibly, won the war for New York. So now he’s ready to leave. According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks’ All-Star forward is finally ready to waive his no-trade clause—provided he’s sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers or Houston Rockets: Carmelo Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star, is [...]

David Griffin is now an official candidate to join the New York Knicks’ front office in the wake of Phil Jackson’s exit. Nothing appears immediately imminent, but according to ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne, the Knicks have opened dialogue with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ former general manager while removing Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri from their list of [...]

BREAKING: Water is wet. Oh, and Paul George is totally willing to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers beyond next season if LeBron James sticks around. From USA Today‘s Sam Amick: Hell-bent as he is on signing with the Lakers, George also won’t close a window of opportunity. So if the Cavs can convince Pritchard to either take on [...]

As hope around the NBA grows that LeBron James will consider leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent in 2018, one team can apparently remove itself from the running. And it’s the Los Angeles Clippers. The Undefeated’s Mike Wise recently made an appearance on ESPN Radio’s Freddie and Fitz show, at which time he indicated there’s [...]

Not having a general manager or team president in place hasn’t stopped the Cleveland Cavaliers from continuing their pursuit of Paul George. According to ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes and Marc Stein, the Cavaliers remain hot on George’s trail. They even held “serious” discussions with the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers about a three-team deal that would [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers still don’t have a replacement for David Griffin. Though they’ve offered the president of basketball operations position to Chauncey Billups, owner Dan Giblert’s first choice for the role, they have yet to hear his answer. And apparently, according to NBA.com’s David Aldridge, he has yet to intimate which way he’s leaning: [tweet [...]

There is no bond in life stronger than the one shared between Kyrie Irving and LeBron James. Case in point: Kyrie (maybe) doesn’t want to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers if LeBron bolts as a free agent in 2018, as many expect him to do. From the Chicago Sun-Times‘ Joe Cowley: Irving has been contacting some [...]

What in the actual frickity frick are the Cleveland Cavaliers thinking? Parting ways with general manager David Griffin is a risk. Even if he wasn’t directly responsible for LeBron James’ arrival and the Kevin Love trade, he helped build a championship-level supporting cast around them and Kyrie Irving. Owner Dan Gilbert has never valued front-office [...]

Give Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard this: The man has guts. Shopping Paul George is no easy task. He is a free agent after next season, and everyone expects him to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Any team that acquires him will do so under the guise that he’s a rental unless they can [...]
