David Griffin, whose contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers expires this summer, is the Orlando Magic’s top candidate for a role as president of basketball operations. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks are now expected to pursue David Griffin for their general manager position.
Could David Griffin leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Atlanta Hawks?
It should be unlikely given that the Atlanta Hawks are an Eastern Conference foe in the East, at least in the minds of the Cleveland faithful. It would border on treachery.
Well, not really. That’s hyperbolic, perhaps, but it would go against the sense the outside world has that there’s a familial bond brewing in Cleveland.
