So long, David Griffin

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: David Griffin?

Trading in the NBA seems easy to the casual fan. "I want that player you want this player, ok were done". But after years of watching trades go in, and trades be canceled you see that its a huge chess game where the pieces are human bodies and minds. Grant looking back at his moves was good at getting picks. But despite the Kyrie pick(All luck that it turned into Kyrie) he really never got us a sure thing with his moves. Imo is kind of seemed like he wasn't sure of his plan and thought more about making moves because they were assets and not how the coach would actually utilize them(Big reason for Scott and Brown's failures).

Now Griffin has made no moves yet personnel wise but he has come out and said he wants a better shooting team. Its not a big giveaway to his intentions for the team but at least its an indication that there is a plan involved.

Ill be keeping an eye on the players we target this offseason, but just guessing, it seems like Griffin has a direction he wants us to go and my hypothesis is backed up but the Blatt hiring.
 
Re: David Griffin?

It's early but so far Griffin has hired a coach and a top assistant coach, drafted Wiggins, picked up Haywood's contract, picked up Harris/Powell who might work in his system, and re-signed Kyrie. Very curious to see what he does with the roster during free agency. But so far, I am liking him a lot more than I thought I would. Big off-season victories so far.

David Griffin? David Griffin.
 
Re: David Griffin?

In a week we might be saying David F'ng Griffin!!!!
 
Re: David Griffin?

For once our GM are making the moves they should make and doing them quickly. I have faith for the first time in a Cavs gm since i was a kid. Ferry tried to hard and Grant spent money and gave up assets for players who won't even be here after this year. He did not fuck up drafting Kyrie and the Baron Davis tra... Okay Griffin so far so good. Do not fuck this up we have faith in you.
 
Re: David Griffin?

I don't always sign players to a max extension... But when I do, all I have to do is wave my f-ing hand.

Re: David Griffin?

This is the type of GM I was talking about. This guy has a vision and he goes hard to make that vision a reality.
 
Re: David Griffin?

My worries are easing up. I really just didn't like the chatter of the free agents. It scared me a little bit. Everything he has done so far has been good, as everyone else stated, I'm waiting for free agency to start and see what happens.
 
Re: David Griffin?

A+ so far and our team hasn't played a single game yet. This free agency period is the only thing that will bring his grade down, he needs to close on a few guys to make our team competitive for a 3-6 seed.

with a lot of teams having cap space, free agency could very well turn into a total feeding frenzy. if that is the case, the cavs may be more well served to stay out of that mess and try to make some smarter trades with teams that will inevitably find themselves strapped after making stupid moves.
 
Re: David Griffin?

so far, so good

Re: David Griffin?

Gotta think that our first round pick next year will be the key to any trade we make to get significant help.
 
Re: David Griffin?

What I like is the Cavs seem to have a plan and are not making knee jerk moves. They are taking their time to make decisions, and then, like last night, are all in to execute the plan. Well done.

Remember when all those people were freaking out during the search for a coach and how they hated that the Cavs were taking their time? Good times.. good times.
