INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cavaliers general manager David Griffin's name is beginning to emerge in other team's searches to lead their front offices because he does not have a contract with the defending champs beyond this season.
Griffin, 47, who has been Cleveland's general manager for more than three seasons, is a front runner to be offered a job as team president by the Orlando Magic at season's end, according to multiple reports.
But sources told cleveland.com that the Magic did not speak to Griffin about the job nor has it obtained permission to do so.
