Cavs GM David Griffin 'grateful' for LeBron James' nudging on roster, even if he doesn't agree

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- LeBron James continued to push Cavs general manager David Griffin after he traded for Kyle Korver, publicly calling for not only a veteran point guard but another big man.

Griffin said Friday he was "grateful" for James' nudging, even if he doesn't entirely agree with all of his superstar's opinions.

"I appreciate the fact that he's really trying to keep us moving in the right direction," Griffin said Friday, hours before the Cavs played the Sacramento Kings.

One week ago, James said Griffin needed to add a veteran point guard to play behind Kyrie Irving, another big man to replace Chris Andersen, who is lost for the year with a torn ACL, and maybe even another player.
