The Cavs and general manager David Griffin will part ways according to sources

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA

Sources: As David Griffin departs as Cavs -- "Just couldn't agree on future," source says - Chauncey Billups expected to emerge as candidate

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt

What is very surprising: Cavs assistant GM Trent Redden, very highly respected around the league, is also out. Wow. Total house cleaning.

 

[Hoop Head]

This has to put a halt to any potential Cleveland deal. If they make a trade without a GM then I think that it'll be undeniable that he's calling the shots for that team.

Such weird timing. Perhaps it involves player personnel moves.

 

[GatorAZ]

Nothing we didn't already know. Dan Gilbert is a moron.

 

[SirStefan32]

I thought Lebron was the GM over there.

 

[sunsfan88]

Would love to bring David Griffin back to Phoenix in an assistant capacity and if the Suns don't renew McDonough's contract after next season then they have a replacement in Griffin who is highly regarded among NBA circles according to Woj.

Sources: Pau Gasol will decline his $16.2M option for 2017-18, but intends to work with Spurs on a longer term deal to remain with team.

 

[leclerc]

Bill Simmons is a complete moron, he just tweeted a fake trade with suns giving up bledsoe, bender, chriss for kevin love.

I like the fact every reply is outraged over how horrible this deal is for the suns.

A joke, surely.
