LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed in a peculiar place.
After losing to the Golden State Warriors for the second time in three years, Dan Gilbert’s vision of the Cavs’ championship chances with the roster they constructed over those seasons was obviously different from what he told reporters immediately after the Cavs lost to the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the 2017 NBA Finals.
Per cleveland.com‘s Joe Vardon:
“I feel good about our talent, our personnel, coaching staff, everything”
After meeting with former general manager David Griffin, news broke that Griffin and the Cavs had parted ways in part because of a difference in vision.
