The one thing I felt that was a great maneuver by Cavs G.M. David Griffin was to acquire Brendan Haywood for pennies on the dollar and created a trade asset. However, this is the real NBA. During the offseason Griffin searched for a trade partner to take Haywood’s expiring contract worth $10,500,000 and gave up a valuable asset.
There was a problem though. The other 29 G.M.’s did not want to be the person that allowed the Cavaliers to become a dynasty that could win multiple championships and not one team was willing to trade a player for the expiring contract.
