CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Maybe Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert isn't a fan of Jimmy Butler?
Just hours after news broke that the Cavaliers were assembling long shot blockbuster-type packages to chase Chicago's All-Star while still working hard on Paul George proposals, Gilbert announced General Manager David Griffin's departure in a brief statement that didn't shed any light on the reasoning.
The logic behind Monday's decision still remains sketchy. Griffin wanted more money. He wanted more power. How much those factors had to do with Monday's decision can only be answered by Gilbert. Eventually he will need to go into detail about this decision, something more than a 97-word statement.
