Cleveland Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin knew that something had to change.
Along with the entire Cavaliers organization, he spent the 2014 summer courting hometown hero LeBron James. Once the King returned, Griffin, sensing that his newest superstar’s title window wouldn’t last forever, dealt the unproven commodity that was Andrew Wiggins for a game-changing, young star in Kevin Love. The league’s newest and most exciting “Big 3” had been assembled in Cleveland.
As we all know now, the beginning of that season was, for lack of a better word, a disaster.
